Don't know how true this is, but heard that he has signed for another year. Its just no announcement has been made yet. IMO Bailey is a decent squad player but his money could be utilised better on someone else.

Because Phelps is the best fullback at the club not to mention still improving as a player, and we don't have a better option. Richards is a winger and Roberts, is frankly poor.

We have plenty back row options, the place Bailey is suited.

People keep going on about this 'we've got plenty back row options'

I disagree. If Bailey goes, thats both our first choice back row of 2009 gone with Hocks ban

and with Flanagan leaving that leaves us with Hansen, Joel and Mossop with Farrell the next emerging talent. Nowhere near good enough

Hansen, Mossop & Joel will form the back row next season, hopefully the new coach will be able to bring in a prop/backrow forward with the room we have left under the cap.

Bailey has been panned for his entire Wigan career, now people see him as a vital cog, its madness.

His injury alone should see us release him.

We have plenty of players who are the best in their position at the club. Doesn't mean they are good enough

When certain players contracts were up we missed opportunities to use their wages elsewhere. If we re-sign Bailey he would be the first player where that applies IMO.

Coley & Pryce would be my other 2 for the last batch of contracts signed.
