Do you reckon they will all be at Wigan next season, or will any of them be released. Also Does Palea'asina count on the quota ?

I reckon most, if not all will still be at Wigan next year.
Not bad squad players and all know where the line is.

Just add to the other reply Feka does not count on the Quota for Wigan as he was signed before the new regulations came in.

I would'nt mind Ainscough and Palea'asina at Bradford. We need some impact to come off our bench, and alot of people seem to think Palea'asina is leaving at the end of the year.

Out of the 3 i reckon Ainscough will be favourite for being released. Its looking fairly certain that feka will be on his way at the end of the season too.

I think Pryce is earning himself a new contract. Ainscough and Goulding are probably going to be around too, unless we sign improvements for them from Australia. I don't see Feka staying after this season though.

I hope we keep Feka. I don't understand why we aren't using him more.

we obviously have method which works with coley, fielden, prescott and o'carroll so why change it unless we have to. thats why he isnt getting played more.

Goulding should get a new contract, he's done well all season and at worst is a decent squad memeber.

He is not being used to his potential IMO. The only critisism I can have of Maguire.

Goulding had a great game today and should certainly be kept at Wigan. Unfortunately Feka just doesn't seem to be what Madge wants in a player and may be released. Personally I'm left scratching my head at how Pryce even gets a game, he is the laziest, most lacklustre player I think I've seen, he makes a tackle and then needs 5 minutes to recover, and when he gets the ball out wide with a good run at the line why doesn't he just RUN!!! He needs hand-off lessons from Kevin Iro, he's got the physique, just hasn't got the temperament.

I think that's a tad unfair tbh. Yes, he's not the quickest, but the guy has hardly played for two years. I for one am glad Wigan showed faith in his throughout his injury problems and I think now there are the signs that he's getting back to being the player he was at Bradford. I'd hate to see the guy forced out of Wigan like so many others in recent memory, but as long as he's wearing cherry & white, he gets my full support.

I agree. He was playing well, in both attack and defence, and still looked full of running when he was taken off, then only brought back with about 10 mins left at the end.

One thing I didn't understand today was that his runs were not anything special yet he got roaring cheers and applause, yet Fielden's runs were more effective yet his were met with almost silence most of the time.

Hallelujah.
Plus Fieldens defence was superb.

Thirded.

Fielden had a great second spell today, did the work of 2 props.

Agreed. It's as if he has this 'Cult Status' that surrounds him that means he's untouchable, his weaknesses are either ignored or not seen by these fans. I agree that he can have the odd great barnstorming run every few games like the one he scored against Hull KR in the playoffs and the run he had against Hull FC a few years back. His defence is solid most of the time but when he gets fatigued, he backs off and lets other players tackle him. This has led to opposition players targetting him (like against Wire in the Semi last season).

In the late 80's, Wigan strived to be the best team in the land (and subsequently the world). By doing this the club had to make some unpopular choices by axing some players (fans favourites) in order to move to the next level. I feel we are going to go through this again. Feka, Phelps and Carmont I've heard, sad they might have to move on but if by doing this it takes us to the next level then go for it Maguire!!

Pryce & Goulding I'm sure will stay as will Ainscough as he's not out of contract.
Who will go is being narrowed down.
We won't know anything at all until players have been signed and if any are overseas their visa's have been issued.

Goulding is certain to stay. Wigan have the option for another year and I am sure they will take it after the way he has played this year. Ainscough is still under contract so he will probably still be here too. I think that Pryce will leave as I dont really see where he fits into this team and he will have to improve a lot to get a new contract.

We expect and see it off Fielden week in week out - unfortunately Feka is a hit with the younger fans more than most and this is were the cheers and applause come from I think.

fielden has been treated appallingly by alot of wigan fans. his work goes un-noticed but to be honest i have never seen a more professional player. his work ethic is second to none and defensively one of the best in super league. We look a much weaker team without him on the field. i for one would be gutted if he leaves at the end of the year.

I can't see fielden being let go next season he hasn't missed a game so MM must rate him highly

He is hardly ever injured which is another good reason to keep him

Cannot see Pryce leaving now. He is first in the pecking order of the three at the moment.

For Goulding to stay he has to be happy being a squad player and not being guaranteed a game each week. At 23/24 now he might want regular first team rugby and will seek to go elsewhere to get it.

Can see Ainscough staying another year to prove his worth. If he does not push himself in front of Pryce and Goulding he will be on his way. Lets not forget we have the likes of Charnley and Thornley coming through too.

Darrell Goulding must be one of the favourites for the vacant wing spot. He's had an excellent season.

He says as much in his interview in today's WEP.
