Because money talks, and we're the fashionable british club.

Btw, did anyone see the Storm vs Raiders game today? Scott Logan is immense, shame we couldn't hold on to him.

Anyone heard that Gaz Hock is being trained by the Army and Wigan are paying for it?

I would say that's highly unlikely.

Not the bit about the Army, but about Wigan.

Basically we're not allowed to.

.

Maybe it's t'other way round

Get him a house in Worsley Mesnes, its close to Beech [sizeHill[/size.

Perfect! Get his wife a job at Rathbones and he's got the finest rugby facilities in the northern hemisphere at Judes.
Just a shame the Wheel has closed as he could have sampled some of the local culture.

Someone could throw in VIP entry and his own table at some of the finest resteraunts in Wigan such as Theo's in Ashton where he could sample some Greek and English delicacy such as the 'Kebab' the 'Pie Barm' and the 'Split'. VIP passes to Queens night spot (Ashtons only place to be) if he fancies the nightlife and his own vintage sports car by a top maker as he could have his very own 'Ford Granada'.

Back on a serious note, who will we be keeping and who will be leaving. It concerns me that so many players are off contract at once.

Phil Bailey 1 Year Extension December 2009 November 2010
George Carmont 1 Year Extension October 2009 November 2010
Andy Coley 1 Year Extension July 2009 November 2010
Paul Deacon 1 Year Initial Contract December 2009 November 2010
Cameron Phelps 1 Year Extension July 2009 November 2010
Karl Pryce 1 Year Extension June 2009 November 2010
Darrell Goulding 2 Years Extension April 2008 November 2010
Harrison Hansen 2 Years Extension September 2008 November 2010
Mike McIlorum 2 Years Extension April 2008 November 2010
Paul Prescott 2 Years Extension April 2008 November 2010
Iafeta Paleaaesina 4 Years Extension November 2006 November 2010
Stuart Fielden 4.5 Years Initial Contract June 2006 November 2010

Pryce out, Deacon to move to a coaching role, Fielden on a reduced wage or say goodbye.

Given pryce is now getting a run in the first team he may earn a new deal.

I thinks we will lose at least 3 if not 4 players at the end of the season.

Bailey may go, as may phelps.

One of the props may go and i have a suspiscion that feca is currently rated 5th choice. This will be to make way for Ben Davies who will be 5th choice next season and may well stay on a year long duel contract with Widnes.

Deacon may go in to a coaching role. It is a concern that we have 12 players off contract and if talks havnt already begun with some players they may well take the decisions to field offers from other clubs.

I can see fielden going back to the bulls along with Noble.

Bailey - Leave
Carmont - 1 more year if he feels he can hack it. He can rotate with Marsh the same way Bailey used to do with Goulding when we first signed him.
Coley - 1 Year
Deacon - Coaching
Phelps - Leave
Pryce - up to him to perform for the rest of the season to decide
Goulding - 2 more years
Hansen - 4 years
McIlorum - 4 Years
Prescott - 3 Years
Feka - I would give him 1 year but i think he will leave
Fielden - 1 year

Agree

Apart from.

Hansen - 3 years
McIlorum - 2 years
Prescott - 2 years

I don't like giving out to longer contracts as you never know what might happen in the future.

Feka and Fielden, it depends on who we can bring in, if we can improve on them, then let them go, if we can't, then keep them for a year on severely reduced wages.

What about Pryce?

I hope he keeps going strong as it solves some big issues.
