Ainscough
Bailey
Coley
Carmont
Flanagan
Leuluai
Phelps
Pryce
Smith

I think keeping Ainscough will be unanimous, but what about the rest?

Ainscough, I would think he should have a contract extension before his present one concludes. Tommy but it would be as a hooker. Carmont possibly, 12 months maximum. The rest at this stage, Goodbye.

Apart from Ainscough I would release all of them

Ainscough - Keep
Bailey - Go
Coley - Go
Carmont - Keep
Flanagan - Go
Leuluai - Keep on reduced contract as impact hooker
Phelps - Keep Utility Value
Pryce - GO
Smith - GO

That should be enough money to sign a new prop and a scrum half.

Ainscough - Keep
Bailey - Go we can`t afford him
Coley - Go a must
Carmont - Keep definately
Flanagan - Why go Noble never plays , he `s young he can stay .
Leuluai - Keep but stop him kicking !
Phelps - Stay I agree utility player
Pryce - A big lazy player , he must go
Smith - GO definately


Noble- first to go and first to have his bags packed , oh were we only talking about players

Ainscough - Keep
Bailey - Bye Bye
Coley - Bye Bye
Carmont - Keep, retain for another season with an option of 1 more season after that if we wanted
Flanagan - Keep, young yet to be given a chance
Leuluai - Keep, move to hooker
Phelps - Bye Bye, taking up a valuable overseas place
Pryce - Keep, have a feeling he will come good, why let another club benefit from the rehabilitation time we have givewn him
Smith - Bye Bye

Ainscough - Keep
Bailey - Keep 2 years maybe
Coley - 50/50 keep if no other prop can be found
Carmont - Keep 1 maybe 2 years
Flanagan - Keep loan him out for a while
Leuluai - Keep don't care where he plays
Phelps - Keep good utility
Pryce - Keep, was highly rated as a youngster and is still only 22. Its always nice to have some size in the squad
Smith - Bye bye should never have been here.

Chopping and changing the squad every season is what caused (along with some other reason) Wigan to go from being a great team to being an average team. Stick with some current players for a while until a suitable replacement is found preferable an academy player. There is no guarantee that any new player will do well so stick with what works ok until you can find something that works better otherwise it can all go wrong very quickly.

Re Flannagan. Folks you do know he is on a higher salary than Sam T, Ainscough, Liam Farrell etc etc. He is also the Godson of Brian Noble.

He still can't be on much pay surely. And the second point is irrelevant to how good he is/might be. Shame we can't really tell from him just playing in the reserves

Ainscough keep 10 year contract
Bailey unfair on him but think will leave
Coley playing ok will leave
Carmont 12 month contract
Flanagan needs first team play will leave salford
Leuluai must keep
Phelps great lad good utility ?????
Pryce as to go sorry
Smith sorry not our problem
