Are you a relative of Phelps?

Orrell no I just call it as i see it you guys who slag players off who play well must be watching the diff game lets see u face these guys and take a tackle wonders like ive said before you do it you play the game or have you ever ???????

Get off these guys backs and give them some credit !!!!

If were so bad dont watch them then and go watch another team ???

Ok, but just because someone plays the game doesn't make them immune from criticism from the fans. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Supporting another team isn't an option pal.

Personally not a fan of Phelps but tonight he offered more in attack than Richards.

Made a few errors in defence but his link play in the line was something we have not seen in a long time at Wigan.

He may well earn a new deal yet with performances like tonight.

TBH Saints didnt really break our line for us to see what hes like in defence, but he did well in attack.

Still dont think hes worth a quota spot though. And would rather have kept Colbon

Jonh a guy with sence at last applause mate

Agreed, his link play was excellent, a good attacking fullback performance.

FB would seem to be a position he enjoys alot more than wing/centre.

Excellant game fron Phelps, how tommy got man of the match ill never know his general kicking is absolute cack!!

A couple of kicks aside, for the most part today Tommy's kicking was excellent, much better than I have seen from him in recent weeks.

We almost threatened 40/20's!!

yeah but generally his kicking is crap it either gets kicked too hard or it goes straight to the full back etc never makes the receiver work hard to catch the ball

But we did for the most part today, thus we can do it, was no suprise it helped that we were dominant today. makes a helluva difference.

For an hour Leuluai's kicking was the best i've ever seen it but as Saints ground us down it went to pot.

I think we need to start giving Sam abit more responsibility in that department tbh. Everytime he does seem to get a go at the kicking it looks very good and he has good distance but it's too few and far between.

that pass phelpsy gave for shauns second was absolutely breathtaking! i thought he was very good in a position which he last played sometime last june (last game for canterbury)

thats why weve got phelpsy who can cover wing, full back, centre, stand off and hooker!

And a mile forward.

Thought he did well tonight, a couple of mistakes but on a positive he linked play much better than Richards does like someone said a mix of Pat's dependability and Phelps link play would be spot on . I think we get carried away with Pat at fullback hes solid and I think we have been glad to see him play at the back when the other option was Mathers.
If we are to move forward we need to find more in the middle of the park we lack creativity, Lulu needs to be at 9 as for Phelps being a waste of a quota spot we have a few I would put before him who are on better money and offer less in effort and achievement .
Our big problem tonight was our player on the biggest contract was our worse by some distance. Still think we could of won if KC had not played he was Stains best half back, prop and hooker tonight all rolled into one and is the best player in the SL era by some distance .

Not when TL was kicking. His long range kicking was poor.

As to Phelps, pleasantly surprised but for some reason with him I always think there is an error waiting to be made.

Dave

cant go to the screen for a forward pass now can we

Agree

And in fact, due to the momentum rule, wasn't even forward. Look where Phelps is when Ainscough takes the ball.

Got Coaches Man of Match, considering that was his first game after coming back from injury thought he played well.

Think some people lile to criticise just to be controversial.

Phelps had a great game last night - couple of significant errors yes but its his first game back in weeks and attacking-wise he was on fire.

Had Richards made those errors but attacked like Phelps people would have hailed him as MOM.

Phelps the utility back is working out just how the club need it to.

He had pretty decent game last night.

However Saints did not manage to test him defensively at all during the game, so it may be a tad early to say if he will be a safe bet at fullback.

To be fair that's how a full back's game should be... if your fullback is constantly being tested, the guys up font aren't earning their corn are they.

Cameron Phelps ....

Did alright, little rusty with some mistakes.

He's a jack of all trades, master of none. He does what it says on the tin.

Better option than Mathers and can play anywhere across the backline, that's how I justify his squad position.
