phelps had a solid game today and is getting better the more i see him tbh

I know,could smell it in the stands.

agreed, although he is taking up a quota spot unless we can replace him with home grown then we wont do any better for the money we have. you want your full back to be solid and not make stupid mistakes. phelps fit the bill - i mean how worried where we when tansey and (more so) hall were playing there?

IMO Westermans defence is the reason that he's not playing 13 at the moment. His attacking ability is clearly there, but his defence isn't great, and so defending as a wide second row isn't required as much as it would be playing 13.

Would agree with that.

Did Sharp drop some high balls yesterday? Don't remember hearing that he did. Sounded like he was beating the first/second man as well.

Got to disagree there, would much rather have Sam Tompkins (spit!!) than Shaun Briscoe, say. Not saying I dont think Phelps is right as I think he is far more than 'safe' and would keep him for sure unless someone of the calibre of Slater or the young kid at Canberra who's name escapes me (Duggan??) became available and affordable.

thought Phelps was solid at Widnes and seems to get better with every game, glad he got the try at the end he deserved it

Keep Phelps no need to spend big money on a NRL fullback.
A class halfback is still priority. I have been impressed with Phelps give him a 2 year deal.

I agree he is playing well and we feel safe with him, he could have scored earlier if Sam had passed the ball, he was up for it all the way through

TBF I think there was a defender inbetween them. Difficult ball to get to Phelps.
