Didn't he say in a club quote that he had an option for another year?
Perhaps he's taking up that option.
I'd be ok with that, he's doing ok at present. Scoring tries, not making mistakes.
Very much work in progress though.

He certainly divides opinion though.
Those like me who are ok with him being given a chance which he does appear to be taking and making the effort at the moment.
Then there are those like the woman sat a few rows behind me at the Saints game. The hatred and foul mouthed verbal vitriol she was spewing out was disgraceful. A "Wigan fan" screaming like that at a player wearing the Cherry and White shirt! I've heard that towards opposition players but never like that against any Wigan player before. It did shock me at the time I suppose.

The one thing KP has in his favour is he's British and over the next few years home grown or federation players will become more valuable.
Aussies will become more expensive and their "marquee" players will hardly ever leave to come here seeing their salary cap allowance has been increased.

How much are they on?

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.
