No questions marks over Phelps - he's gone. Not worth a quota spot.

He's easily worth one imo. I'd also keep Pryce as well.

I think my opinion of Phelps is well-known now. He isn't worth a quota spot. He played one and half games at the start of the season (against Crusaders & Hull KR at home) and was average, but since then he has been very poor when he was called upon. Against Salford away he looked very slow and off the pace & was completely embarrassed at Sheffield Eagles. He isn't a top Super League fullback - like Amos Roberts/Sam Tomkins - and is very average in any other position he plays in due to his lack of pace/acceleration. I don't buy into the fact he gives us great squad depth because of this. You also have to consider his value as a utility player because I think he hampers the opportunities of Josh Charnley, Stefan Marsh etc. Also when you compare him to our other quota players - Brett Finch, Jeff Lima, Ryan Hoffman, Amos Roberts - he isn't even in the same league as them. He was a rejected youngster from Canterbury who wasn't good enough for the NRL. At the time he was just a stop gap & now we no longer need him. We have Sam Tomkins & Amos Roberts who are light years ahead of Cameron Phelps at fullback (I would have hoped their performances just highlight how average Phelps was). And we don't need a quota spot to be taken up by a utility player and we now certainly don't need one for fullback. I think the free spot could be better used in another position such as at hooker to replace Riddell or at prop to strengthen the forwards or to perhaps replace Fielden. Then again it could just be kept free in case an opportunity to strengthen mid-season arises.

I think what speaks volumes of Cameron Phelps is that he is being shown the door at Wigan, but no club as of yet has even been linked with him. He is VERY average. Likeable lad with a brave heart, but not good enough for a side with title ambitions.

Or he doesn't have an overly-ambitious agent. I understand your point in regards to his ability (not that I agree) but you don't honestly believe that when a player is linked to a club it is always because that club is interested in the player do you?

As a sub. He was dropped from the starting line up.

H'mm I wonder where?

A chat about what I wonder? Potential signings? Or what they were both going to have for their tea that night? The latter is probably more realistic.

He had heard wigan was looking for a hooker and asked if wigan would be up for signing joe mbu.

Of course not, but look at the interest in Feka and compare it with that to Phelps. Backs up my opinion of his ability or lack of it.

I really hope we're not in negotiations with any of his clients... unless he has signed up Michael Ennis.

Is Offiah Chad Randal's agent?

Why? Please tell me we are signing him

Because hooker is the position where we need a real quality replacement.
We have the quota spot and Quins are a club where players appear to be leaving.
If Offiah is his agent, which I doubt, maybe he's touting Randal around.

rlThis is his client listrl
