"Cameron Phelps arrived at the end of May for the remainder of 2008 and has now signed for 2009 with a further option for 2010 in Wigan’s favour."

“Cameron Phelps has shown what a good addition he is having settled in quickly with the versatility to play at full-back, centre or on the wing and to be a useful goal kicker as well. He deserves his contract extension and to be part of our squad for 2009 and possibly 2010. "

His profile mentioning "until 2011" means his last season with us would be 2010.

Wigan have the option not to extend his deal into 2010.

I agree with that ,he has been improving nicely in the las two seasons,and his goal kicking ability is a great asset .

Agreed.

If i were Ainscough and Phelps and Noble are kept on i'd probably look at a seasons loan somewhere if not even take the supposed money on offer from Union i've read rumoured a couple of times.

I'm not saying i even think Ainscough deserves to start every game but as proved since he was 'rested as a duty of care' he's only got back in twice and thats been due to injuries to Carmont.

Without injury Ainscough won't see another game all year.

I agree.
Or Ainscough could take up the trampoline because I once read that that's how Hampson became such an expert under a high ball and he was small in stature.

i thought you were being sarcastic as i was reading that, got a wierd image of him just pulling a mini trampoline into the in-goal area to try and beat matt king! haha

I like his bravery and his effort but he is simply not good enough if we wana challenge for silverware.

Would he get anywhere near St Helens, Leeds or even Hull Kr? Not a chance

Therefore we shouldnt want him

When Hampo was at Wigan he used to spend hours every week on the trampoline, thats why he was such a good fullback under the high ball

I'd have him in the KR team over Colbon.

I like him and I think hes got alot of room for improvement.

Noble is Mr Safe and this type of coach would usually go for Pat at the back who is as safe as you can get. I think the fact he is playing Phelps ahead of Pat at the back speaks volumes about Phelp's potential.

Hes brave, he shows heart and to be fair hes got a bit of pace and class about him. IMO hes earned himself a contract to stay here till the end of next season.

You get rid of players who are underperforming or detioriating with you do not get rid of young players doing a good job improving game by game and put in 100% regardless of whether they come from Ince or Sydney.

...or does he not trust Ainscough?

I never fully understood the logic behind that. It's not as though he was ever likely to be in a game situation where a trampoline was readily available for him to leap above his opponents.

then you could play Phelps on the wing...this isnt about Ainscough.
