Exactly that. What club has 3 first choice wingers on a first choice wingers salary? Warrington have been playing Jake Mamo there because Lineham is suspended. Saints were playing a young kid when Makinson was out.
If we bring TJ in (which is a huge risk with his injury issues) then one of Marshall or Manfredi has to go and the likes of Bibby will be 3rd choice. Otherwise we potentially lose a forward from somewhere.
Wigan Specialist Wingers over the last seven seasons:-
2014 - Charnley, Manfredi, Tierney.
2015 - Burgess, Charnley, Manfredi, Tierney.
2016 - Charnley, Manfredi, Tierney.
2017 - Burgess, Manfredi, Marshall, Tierney.
2018 - Burgess, Davies, Manfredi, Marshall,
2019 - Burgess, Davies, Manfredi, Marshall,
2020 - Burgess, Manfredi, Marshall.
Except for 2014, 2016 and this season where we have had a centre on the wing, we have had four specialist wingers, so a new specialist winger like Davies, Johnstone etc for next season would be more than welcome, especially if Burgess is as rumoured leaving for Salford.
The loss of one of the many forward players would not be missed!
