Sam Powell 2 year deal : Tue Jun 14, 2022 5:21 pm
Another no brainer for me. Testimonial next year? He debuted in 2012.
Could we sign a better hooker from Australia? Yes probably but building a squad a team is all about balance.
Sam Powell helps keep Wigan, Wigan.
Good to have another senior leader signed up.
Contract length is interesting. O’Neill could become full time 9 in 2025. I like him to mix in more rather than flogging Powell 80 mins every week.
Executive Director, Kris Radlinski, said: “Sam is a strong leader at the Club. He is a cultural architect who demands high standards every day. He has tremendous humility and even though he never played in the Cup Final, his presence on the training field and around the team that week was pivotal to our success. He possesses the DNA that we would want every Wigan Warriors player to have.”
Head Coach, Matt Peet, added: “Sam guides the team on and off the field and has the competitive spirit that every great Wigan player has. Sam is determined to make his next few years his best ones and we would expect nothing less from him.”
