Don't agree with that - Fielden's salary will have been eaten into by the quality of signings made by Wigan this year. Deacon and Pryce will have been on a relative pittance.
Obviously I don't know the numbers, but Finch/Lima/Hoffman/Hock won't be playing for peanuts and some youngsters will be due upgrades.'"
The thing is we probably have:
Phelps
Feka
Piggy
Bailey
Deacon
Pryce
Ainscough
as a minimum leaving, a number of which will also not be on peanuts, especially Feka, Piggy and Bailey. Hock is not going to be on anything like he was given he situation, so I don't see Fielden's wages being a major factor in our singing so far. |

Well, as long as we are all singing from the same hymn sheet.

My (completely baseless  ) take on it would be:
Given the current exchange rate and respective qualities, Hoffman/Lima/Finch combined will be on more than Feka/Bailey/Riddell combined.
Hock will easily be on more than Phelps/Deacon put together. I don't buy this "he'll play for next to nothing" guff - he wouldn't be short of very good offers elsewhere.
A new 5 year deal for Mossop alone would swallow up a teeny Ainscough salary. Other contract upgrades and promotions to the first team squad will soon swallow up a teeny Pryce salary.
I suppose we'll see from who comes in if Fielden leaves.

Mossop signed a new five year deal earlier this season |

IL will basically have planned next years cap wages including what we were offering Stu, so if he does refuse it, that money will be available for another signing. Problem then is, what other props of similar quality will be available by then?

Absolutely - just saying that it will be the salary offered that's available to spend, not the full salary as some seem to think on here with comments like "we could get any prop is SF left".
We don't know how much he's been offered but if it's less than Hull are willing to offer, than you'd guess you won't have enough cash left over for a real top drawer replacement.
Then again - I know nowt, just speculating (bored at work!) |

Letting Fielden go would be a huge mistake IMO

My completely made-up assessment on the back of a fag packet is that our new Melbourne signings are basically playing for a weekly 12" meatball and cheese Subway from the Keighley branch. If Fielden goes they can have "cheese on both sides" and get it as part of a meal deal with a packet of Doritos and a large drink. If Fielden stays no extra cheese and no meal deal.

I recall a radio interview from a year or two ago with IL when he said that the next season was the first one when salary cap wouldn't be a huge hindrance to Wigan or something to that effect. I suspect plans have been afoot for a few years re the squad for next year, and we may well expect some more new faces.

Regarding the Mossop/Ainscough statement..
Wouldnt Ainy leaving free up his contract completly as Mossops contract will still be the same as when Ainy was here? (albeit his contract wont be much, but its chance for another younger player to step up)

You know this for a fact do you? |

| Having waited for so long to see him regain his sparkle, become a stable member of the team and with lack of other better options, then I obviously hope he stays...
...but imagine the overdrive the Hull derby marketing will go into if Hull sign him and KR sign Mason. To say both clubs would "froth" with excitment at using that imagery would be an understatement!!! ![]()
