Quote: RICHARD5LEGEND "Wigan have decided against making me an offer. Gutted. Would like to thank all Wigan fans for their support over the last 3 years.
Phelps just tweeted that.'"
Fair play to the lad and all the best to him, he would be of benefit to most mid table clubs and certainly would be worth a quota spot, but perhaps not at a team challenging at the top of the table.
He seems a likeable bloke but as others have said it would be crazy to use one of our quota spots on a player who was in real terms very unlikely to get more than a handful of games next year and those games could have been at the expense of young British talent who I have no doubt could do a similar if not better job than Phelps (Marsh/Charnley etc).
All the best to him I predict he will probably return to the second string in Australia, getting the odd game in the NRL here and there, which is a shame but there is no room for sentiment.
