Phelps has been a stand out player this season and I have no doubt he will continue to improve. I do agree fielden pryce, goulding and Amos need to step up and show what they are worth.

No one should be immune from the microscope, the pack, centre, half back, full back all need to be looked at regardless of position or reputation.
Phelps has had a good season, he is good at coming through on the burst and supporting, but he isn't the best under pressure (i.e. Cas).

Not sure on that one myself.

I'd take Briscoe back in an instant. Although Phelps has adapted to the role well he is nowhere near the finished article Briscoe is. Think Phelps has just been made to look really good as we had to put up with Mathers for so long

Wasn't phelps MOM against cas? I agree nobody can be immune, I was stating the players I believe will have more to prove than anyone else.

MOM but cost us tries, he has been a revalation at FB but it just worries me if he gets targeted.

Also saved a few tries aswell... But overall I think he's pretty stedy under the high ball but that's my opinion.

I honestly wouldn't go back in for Briscoe, he wouldn't come cheap having moved from FC to KR at a time they were throwing it about.

I'd personally like to see Phelps continue with a view to bringing through Josh Vievers if he continues to develop.

Briscoe is 27 next year, and would want a decent term contract on good money even if he would come.

The last thing i'd want to see is Josh faced with the same situation Shaun was in just before he left Wigan.

I think we just need to accept the Briscoe boat sailed

On the same note, it's why I don't want to see us going for a big money 7, i'd rather persist with TL playing alongside Sam, with a view to introducing Joe Mellor.

IL seems to share the same way of thinking. He said on the radio last night about not wanting to rush into signings and ending up with a repeat of the situation Briscoe was in. He doesn't want anyone to leave bcause they can't see a way they could make it into the team.

The development of Prescott, O'Carroll, Davies may well be part of the reason we are waiting until 2011 to bring in any props so as to replace Fielden, Feka or Coley rather than forcing a young lad to leave.

I think it's absolutely the right way to develop the club. Signings should be a small number of top quality players, and should always take into consideration the development and opportunites of the players coming through the academy.

It seemed to work out well for the Storm with bringing through the likes of Slater, Inglis and Folau (and even then the cap doesn't allow them to keep everybody).
