The deal for Cross wasn't planned though so I think it's likely at the time he signed he would have thought to be 1st choice back up. I thought Cross would be played more at centre than wing. Feldt has only one more year on his contract I think?
Yeah he does. Murphy has (touch wood) stayed injury free since he has come back in the side but there is always a risk with him. I think Douglas will get some game time next season with a view to potentially starting in 2027 if he develops. I think we will save cap space for other areas that we need more to fill.
I've not seen much of him but by all accounts from mates who have seen him in the Reserves a lot he's a quick, strong athlete with a few errors in him. I wonder if that's why he hasn't played much first team for Wigan. He's still only young though so lots of time to develop.
Wigan did let Sean Long go remember. If he turns out to be half as good as he was I'll be happy!
