Good signing, if he learns to stop knocking himself out.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg



All the best Phelps, hope the move works out well. Good signing for Hull.

He has a nice smile and waves at the fans if you chant him name.

Definitely a good signing for Hull was hoping this might happen after Tansey got binned as Phelps seems a top chap. I predict he'll become a fans favorite at Hull as soon as he finds his feet. He never shys away from hard work or big collision and if playing in the right system he can be a really effective attacking weapon from full back with good ball handling skills and short kicking game from his time playing at 6 back in Aus.

As has been said , good signing for Hull . I always liked him and thought he gave 100% every time he took to the field. Also glad he has found a decent club to play for.

Gives 100% but I think people have a bit of a rosey eyed view of his abilities - because he gives 100%.

He didn't figure much last season after getting injured early on (and didn't do a great deal before that either) and he does get injured quite a bit due to the over committed way he goes into tackles. He is definitely a player who survives on effort over ability and the effort he puts in is IMO why fans tend to like him and perhaps why his faults tend to be overlooked.

Will be interesting to see how he goes at Hull.

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te. Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg



Decent squad player but not a stand-out in any one position, versatile and likeable. Slightly iffy tackling technique that oft renders him seeing stars but that's one of his quirks.

Sad to see him go but quotas are such that we can't afford such luxuries. Best of luck Cam, hope you do well.

Delighted for him, always rated him and I'm sure he can do a job for Hull, he was unlucky here that Pat and Amos can do such a good job at fullback despite not being first choice there.

If anyone wants to question his abilities have a look at some of the passes and kicks he put through close to the line at the beggining of the season, class.

Suspect under a high ball and misses tackles but has bucketloads of enthusiasm.

He's a great utility player, with his ability to play anywhere in the back line, but would never be first choice for us in any one position, and is wasted in the reserves.

Glad to see he's found somewhere.

I'm happy for him! Can't believe it's taken him this long to find a team. Glad he's found a top SL one.

He's definitely got some talent but I don't think he'd ever be a stand out player. He's had some very good games at Wigan and his attacking skills did catch the eye and he made quite a few assists with good passing and kicking in attacking situations.
However, he was also prone to make some bad decisions in those good attacking situations too. He would put out poor passes and kick badly in a situation when a pass would do. Defensively he had some problems too and sometimes struggled under the high ball. Sometimes it was a case of picking out several excellent moments and several poor moments during the same game.

He can be a very useful player and a good attacking threat but probably not consistently, which is what may let him down a little.
