No deal, for reasons already mentioned, plus the backrow doesn't have enough yards in it when him, Hansen and O'Loughlin are the back 3, which puts extra pressure on the forwards, which are already pretty poor.

If he can talk his brother into coming over next season, i would offer Phil a deal also.

His brother is the most avaerage of average players EVER.

phil bailey is the aussie mick cassidy

its a shame that hes not english as hed be an excellent player to have in the squad (does he not have english grandparents

)

he obviously loves wigan and playing in SL and id be sad to see him leave as hes one of the few players we currently have that gives 100% EVERY game but hes on quota so.........

i can see him getting a contract if he is willing to take a wage cut.

A big cut... which he won't take. Can think of two or three other SL clubs who would be straight in for him.

It wouldn't surprise me if he got a new deal. Yes he is quota but Phelps and Smith are off contract at the end of this season as well so the club could re-sign Bailey and still meet the limit of five.

He is one of those players who if fit Noble will always select so if the price was right I could see the club giving him a deal.

IMO with all the back row talent we supposedly have coming up through the ranks I think it would be a mistake if it did as it is time to show some more faith in the clubs own developed players.

He is a good player IMO who is underrated for the work he does and he is a smart player as well but if you look at the bigger picture he ought to be on the way out to let the younger players progress.

I'd let the three of them go.

Pros:
Lot of experience - SOO, Australia
Great defender. We miss him when he's not there
Age - Still only 28
Scored that quality try at Leeds in 2007

Cons:
Quota
Not as good as people expect attacking-wise

Fook it lets keep him then

I think we should keep him, wanting to play here and doing the work he does, keep him.

I would personally let him go, he will not be missed.

Defensively he would.

If we didn't replace his experience or leadeship there is 2 more reasons why he would be missed

I'm not advocating a mass clearance but if we stick with the same players - and coach (?) - won't we get the same performance, i.e unsatisfacory?

Hopefully by somebody like him leaving younger players like Hock, J Tomkins and Hansen will step up and start showing more leadership qualities.

It's hard sometimes to stamp your authority on a side when you have more experienced players around you who are expected to do that.

All depends on what stage Mossop is at come the end of the season. I'd like him to stay.

Suppose so, we need at least one experienced leader to be signed though. We are lacking im both of those departments and with our main leader and experienced player to leave those qualities need to be replaced.

We won't win anything with no established leaders

Lee Mossop is ready for super league now, he needs a proper shot in the first team next season without doubt.

Like I said, he'll have to prove that over the coming months.

Bailey's contract will be sorted near the end of the season I supoose, all depends on injuries that may go into next year and stuff like that. We'll see.

Hopefully a leader will come in the shape of a prop or halfback or hopefully both because i do agree we need one.

It's time for a few of the lads already here though to step up in that regard.

I always said get a stone of weight on him and make him the hard working prop we need.

Strong, tackles all day and for a prop doing the hard yards quick.

Just need him to take a pay cut!!!

Give over.

Without a doubt.

I'd be gutted if he was signed to play one of the most pivotal roles within the squad.

he has taken a pay cut.. he's on nowhere as much money as people on here think he is!!
