im getting sick of hearing the same thing and telling people the same thing about this useless player, he offers nothing, he does nothing, he doesnt look part of the team, everyone has told me to give him a chance, yeah he deserves a chance but for me a player who gets the first little strain or injury hes straight off the field, lets be honest he doesnt wanna be out there when it gets rough and tough. ok hes scored i dunno say 10 tries in 8 games or whatever it is, so did ainscough but look at where he is, in the same place pryce should be in the reserves

Apart from the money, as already mentioned, that would depend on who, if any, of our other threequarters were released in order to keep him. I'd be happy with keeping him, as long as we also keep Goulding & Carmont (and the youngsters like Marsh, Thornley & Charnley, whose contract statuses I'm unsure of).

Unless, of course, we have a better signing in the pipeline...!

For Super League players at a top club not a great deal and I dont really see why it should matter anyway. You said he should be paid accordingly, which I agree with and that was my point. His status in the squad and the games that he has played mean that if he was given a new 12 month contract it should be somewhere between what an academy player and squad player earns. At this current time he has done nothing to justify any more and as such I would be very much against a contact for any more. Do You disagree or do you think he should be paid the same as a regular first choice player like Pat Richards as your post implied?

I don't think his value is as high as Richards but I would expect him to earn more than a acadamy-squad player if the plan is to use him as our left winger. I suppose only the coaches will know how they want to use him. Personally I think he comes in for some very unfair critisism but I also don't agree with the praise he gets from some quarters. At this moment I like him as our left winger but I prefer Amos to fullback. If that means he's dropped for pat and and goulding returns to the right, then so be it. I suppose when Amos is 100% we'll find out the coaches plan.

If he was on roughly the same as Goulding (however much that is), that would be about right, IMO.

Suicidal - having to put up with threads like this every other week for another 12 months is enough to put anyone over the edge.
