I appreciate this is a daft statement somewhat since i have never seen the kid play, but given the way the Aussies talk about him, fans and coaches, i would like to see hi get a call to the 4 Nations squad given just how poor we are in the outside backs.
If nothing else it would be a great experience for him. |

| Speaking to a few of the Aussie posters they think it's far too early for the lad.
A few of them also commented how desperate we must be to start going on about a lad 99% of us haven't seen play and 90% of us hadn't even heard of until a few days ago
Does make me chuckle the way we've all jumped on the fact that he's young, British and getting games in the NRL (albeit in the reserves).
He's the messiah!  |

Says more about the England team.
Maybe he is superb, but for people to be wanting to not only sign him, but have him as our first choice full back without actually having seen him play is incredible. |

Phelps had not played a lot and we signed him. Smith and Pryce had not played for a year and we signed them. Hes a bit like McGuire then step up from the class outfit.

Phelps and Smith had plenty of history in the NRL. Phelps played three seasons with at the Bulldogs and Smith was 2005 Dally M Rookie of the Year, beating Greg Inlglis in the process.
Try and defend Pryce, I dare you |

Phelps has played more games in 16 months at Wigan then he ever did in the NRL. Wigan took a gamble on him really because he had only played 39 games for the Bulldogs and luckily he's come up trumps and offers good cheap utility value. Perhaps fuel to my theory that the best imports signings are always the ones that are not big names.
Having seen Smith I don't know how he ever won "Rookie of the Year" (hate the term Rookie, it's so american!). I suppose he, and perhap Karl Pryce, lack the talent or will in the head rather than with ball in hand.

I would have Ainscough in the starting line up - either way if that means Roberts out, or Richards full back Phelps out so be it.

Unknown to many fans, but not the coaching staff or indeed many down under. This lad from Halifax playing reserve grade at Melbourne is an unknown to folk in Australia too.

Yeah, wasn't it something like 35 games in 3 years? Injury and not being deemed good enough were to blame for that. The point I was making was that he wasn't an unknown quantity. Maybe most Wigan fans hadn't heard of him, but the coaching staff will have done their homework (I hope) and he was a known name down under. |

He had a much improved season last season and this MUST continue for him to earn a longer contract.'"
Fully agree

If Carmont re-signs I can see the 1-7 as it has been for the latter part of the season.
1 Phelps,
2 Roberts,
3 Gleeson,
4 Carmont,
5 Richards,
6 S Tomkins
7 Leuluai.
I don't think MM will change all that much around early doors. As the season progresses, well we shall see!

As ful back has become so key to a sides success i would prefer for us to bring in a specialist.
This year we were just short of being good enough and i think this is a key area along with prop and wing that we need to change.
Ideally i would bring in Minichello, Mason and Ainscough for Phelps, Fielden and Roberts. But i cant see Roberts getting the boot now we have another aussie mercenary as coach.
