If it was a straight toss-up between him and Colbon then, thus far at least, I'd be inclining towards Colbon.

Indeed, but as a squad player he would have been very handy to have especially when we've kept Phelps on an increased contract which is double more than what Liam wanted. IMO we have better players than him in the team for him to be kept out so he's taking a wasted quota spot aswell.

Well I was told recently that Colbon would have stayed with us for £30K but went to HKR for £45K. I don't have total confidence in my source but if true then the choice is between Colbon on £30K and Phelps on £60K+ and occupying a quota slot. Mmm.. tough choice....

Nope, your pretty much spot on.

I am fairly certain that Lenegan was unsure whether to keep OCarroll or Colbon as he only had room for one of the two in that respect I would have taken O'Carroll everytime.

As for Phelps vs Colbon....Colbon wins hands down.

I agree with most here, Colbon was never a star, but always gave everything. Would have kept him over other players we have now. Hope he does well at KR.

Surely Phelps isn't on £60K+

He wouldnt have changed how our season went but i would rather have him in the squad than phelps.

We was told in when in Oz that he had recently signed a new contract of 60K+

Dunno Lee. The only financial info I had was re Colbon.
