Quote: Mini Rogue "Indeed, but as a squad player he would have been very handy to have especially when we've kept Phelps on an increased contract which is double more than what Liam wanted. IMO we have better players than him in the team for him to be kept out so he's taking a wasted quota spot aswell.'"
Phelps is a wasted quota spot IMO but that hasn't got anything to do with Colbon and is certainly no reason to have kept him at Wigan.
Colbon would not have been handy to have as squad player either because he just isn't good enough. We have better players in the squad in all positions he was played by Noble last season which is exactly what you are saying about Phelps. So Colbon would not get a game either meaning the increased wages he no doubt got when he left would be a waste of our salary cap.
