Sad way for it to end for him. If it wasn't for injuries he'd be one of the top wingers in the world.
Best of luck to him.

Sad news. Never good to see this for any player but at 27 it's his prime.
Best of luck for the future.
Sad way to end,he had so much talent. Hope he can manage the pain and move on and get a decent job.
I remember an unhappy derby a few years back where we couldn’t lay a finger on him. Shame to see a very promising career undone.
Not one of the Wiganers I loathe and a good player. Sad way to end.
I would hope that Wigan will make sure that he gets all the help medical wise that he could possibly need
His Knees retired years ago!!
Think Wigan have confirmed more bad news for them with Bevan French being ruled out for the rest of the season. He's been their biggest strike weapon. He has re-signed with them for 2022 though.

Exactly that.

Really gutted for Manfredi. He had three knee re-constructions plus two major knee operations when he was at academy level.
He's a really tough player. Sean O'Loughlin was once asked "Who would you not like to go toe to toe with in a fight" His reply was "The Pig" Everyone looked quizzically as they thought he meant Piggy Riddell. He then explained that "The Pig" was players nickname for Manfredi. O'Loughlin said that Manfredi was never beaten by anyone in wresting pit.
I just hope we can get him back on the pitch for at least one last game, he deserves that.
Wish him all the best for his future, always a handfull and a dangerous player much better temperament than Charnley and others. Must be very tough for him to keep getting knock down with injury time and time again.
And whilst he's at home doing rehab he will no doubt he having a few chats to see if there's anything out there for him. French and Hastings both used Wigan brilliantly last couple of years. Paid holiday for them both, won nowt, get NRL deals and go home. Belting.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Quality player. Is sad to see a young man retire in his prime. Came across as an good egg too.

A decent honest exceptional winger is this lad , always played an honest game , not your normal goon type , wish him well for the future.
roy litherland it's happened i told you it would
I heard similar on one of the clubs Q&A posted on youtube where Bateman and Gelling said if you tapped off Manfredi he put your arm in a lock.
He has also sparred with our own Martin Murray who said Dom was very capable and could look after himself, not bad a winger who gets in the ring with a world class boxer.
Good luck with your future Dom.
Not wishing to create a thread about Wigan so it’s going in here.
I see Willie Isa, Hastings and Gildart have poked at the Wigan ‘support’ for booing. Quite a few negative ‘fan’ comments on Twitter back at them.
