As sad as it is, I've dug that up. I really rate Phelps at fullback and I wanted to try to get people to cast their minds back to just how good he was. I know Amos was a revelation there, and I know he is more dangerous up the middle, but for me our strongest and most balanced team has Phelps in the number one shirt.'"
I had a quick look at that thread and there is a comment on the first or 2nd page that says how we will miss him if he out injured for an extended period. Well he has played a grand total of six SL games for us this season and the fact of the matter is we have not missed him at all.
With Roberts out of sorts for whatever reason, Phelps will no doubt get another chance if fit and Madge thinks he deserves it but I think anyone saying he was outstanding before has forgotten who he played against and the fact he has figured very little this season. I think he played about 1 1/2 games before his first injury. He's been injured and out of the side too long to have had a major influence on our season.
