Signing Obst would be like going to Fuel because Pozition is quiet!

Seriously Mr Agar, we're not "lucky" to have got Phelps, nobody else wanted him.

I think you will find most clubs had filled there overseas quota,so its logic to think he would of been struggling to find a superleauge club with space or cap for him.Unless they call you KR.

I cant help having that Last turkey on the shelf at Christmas feeling...

What, ALL SL clubs and NRL clubs, the guy had to practically beg for a contract on Twitter FFS!

I'll back him in the B&W, but when you need half backs and fit players going out and wasting a quota and non fed spot on a dodgy (injury wise) fullback isn't good business.

Clint Newton's grown his hair.

He had to beg because he was out with an injury and if you read the Wigan board some claim he is a good player WHEN fit ...Not sure why I did the shocked look then, we seem to love injury prone players

What other 'top' team are willing to use a quota spot on full back if they already have one?

Wigan - Tomkins
Saints - Wellens
Wire - Hodgeson
Leeds - Webb
Hudds - Grix
Dobbins - Briscoe

Looks to me that most clubs either had a full back or used their quota spots in more prioritised positions.

As I said before, I would rather have a 1st team full back then a back-up half. Tansey departs, we deal with priorities. To me it is good business.

is that their away kit ?

It wouldn't surprise me !

the phelps signing is good bussiness, who was to know that tansey was going to do what he did and rightly so got sacked it just left us in a difficult posistion and with phelps without a club it made sense on a 1 year deal so it dosent impact our recriutment for 2012 but makes phelps try to earn another contract bit like when we signed moa on a 1 year deal. as for phelps hes a pretty good rugby player with good ball handling skillls and will bring a bit of pace and ethusiasm, is he better then tansey most probable and hes certainly had some good reviews of the wigan fans they seem to think he will go well for us.

I'm happy with Phelps signing, think he'll go well..........once he gets here

We've had months and months to sort out our squad and haven't even come close to resolving our inadequacies. I don't buy this "bad luck/too late in the day" mentality. We are where we are because we've failed miserably, over and over again, to recruit a squad capable of challenging for honours over 27 rounds of SL.

Agar and Rule should take the blame for that when we finish mid-table whilst watching tiny clubs like Hudds, Dobbins, Wire etc.. cement their places above us in the English game.

It is not only disappointing, it's fkng embarrassing !!!!
