Had Amos Roberts played for Cas they would have won the game.'"
That line stands for the mediocrity of our international game and our terrible excuses for British RL for the past however many years.
I've just been watching up n under on a certain video site which was uploaded by a wigan fan (to whom I am very grateful) featuring the signing of Martin Offiah. Not a single mention of his defence when talking about signing him, simply his great ability.
We lambast young british winger and centres in favour of imports to our peril. Thanks to Cas this season for giving the kid a superleague start this year otherwise people would have said 'well anyone can score in the championship..etc etc.
"Had Amos Roberts played for Cas they would have won" - absolute classic
Quote="casman2"Doubt Wigan would let him go permanently
He has a big future, but once Richards and Phelps have gone he will fill in'"
I'd be amazed if modern day Wigan let him leave on anything more then loan contracts and I presume they'll try their best to find a solution of getting him into the team for next year.
Phelps and Carmont are off contract and they may look at having a reshuffle of the back line to fit him in.

'"
I'd be amazed if we didn't keep Phelps on out of the 2(him and Carmont) tbh. His game has come on leaps and bounds now he's settled in the fullback position and with him only being 25 he's got time on his side to keep on improving. He's our most creative player even from fullback.
Carmont is also a fine player but at 32 can't have too long left in him and he'd be the man in most danger of missing out on a new deal.
