In my opinion as it stands Fielden, Pryce, Goulding Hansen, McIllorum, Carmont and Phelps need big seasons to earn new deals.


Mcilorum, Hansen and Phelps imo should all be definite candidates for a new deal.

All three have talent, potential and age on their sides. I’d also hazard a guess as well that they aren’t any where near the top earners at the club which means any pay increases won’t break the bank and certainly won’t compare to drops we should see in Fielden’s wage and even Feka’s.

Again I’d let Coley go as long as we bring in a truly top class prop to replace him. Fielden hasn't lived up to his rep at Wigan but he hasn't been as bad as some make out either. He's not gonna be anyones top prop if he decides to leave but i still think he'd make a good 2nd prop at any SL club so why not ours?

For what its worth i think every player who is off contract needs a big season to earn a new deal.

Secondly i think Deacon could add the extra dimension that we have been missing and he too should be concentrating on earning a new playing deal and leave the coaching till he is finished playing.


Deacs will be massive for us next season as he should give us the level of organisation we’ve not seen since Dobbo was here.

That being said age isn’t on his side and although he could maybe do another two years we could bring in Brough who is equally as good as him and have a more stable partnership for a good few seasons.

Again it’s not changes for changes sake but looking at what we have and how we can slightly improve on it.

Hopefully we can get 2 years from deacon by which time joe mellor will be ready for a starting shirt. Mellor may even get a few games in 2010 from the bench with a view to being more involved in 2011. Injuries will decide.

Agreed from what little i have seen of him 2010 may be too early but 2011 could see him take the place of Deacs, as our back up half and after that who knows, he does look a classy little act, very similar in running style to Sam Tomkins.

Also lets not forget that both Owen Farrell and his Dad are off contract at the end of the current season, we have a potential centre spot in the balance long term and also Mike Forshaw off contract I believe.

Andy Farrell has just been given the England Saxons assistant coach job. I think it'll take something really special to prize the Farrells away from RU now.

If Maguire fancied having a crack at signing Widdop then i'd be made up because he must know alot about him and his potential but as for any of us calling for him to be signed it means very little. I'd guess not one of us on here knows anything more then what was written about him in the one piece i've seen on the internet and thats not much to go on.

I hope for Englands sake that he's as good as that article made out and that he really can make it bigtime in the NRL.

We keep talking about bringing the Farrells back to Wigan, but I'm not sure it would be that big a thing for us.

Andy is long finished as a player, and seems to be at the very start of whatever coaching career he may have; I'm surprised to hear that he's got a job like this, given how little experience he has. I'd also cast doubt on the view that his mere presence would be inspirational. I don't think the likes of Faz and Robinson, who the new generation mainly remember for taking the Union shilling, would have an nth of the respect that the likes of Radlinsk and Wane have.

Owen would be the main reason for bringing the Farrells back north, but even he by now will have got into lots of bad Rugby Union habits. I'm not sure he'd be anything like as effective in League as if he'd stayed on and served his apprenticeship. Sure, I'd like to see him at Wigan, but would he really be worth breaking the bank for? I think Owen now falls into the bracket of those top Union stars who League used to sign all the time, but who we never sign any more because, with the salary cap, it's too much of a risk to pay them the necessary big money.

A Leyther at work said he was speaking to somebody involved with Leigh and they're apparently taking a Tomkins' brother on loan.

If true, it's obviously going to be Logan.
