there is no doubt phelps is hardworking and of decent quality but the argument with him is that he takes up at quota spot, and these player need to be of the highest quality.
I'm not getting this whole ‘our imports are going to have to be of the highest quality soon to justify their places. It’s BS of the highest order.
Even when the quota comes down to its minimum of three overseas players I doubt any team will have three top class overseas players in their squad. No team currently in SL has what I’d call three world class foreign players in their squad. Some like Leeds have Buderus and arguably Webb but then I’d hardly call the likes of Ali Lauititi or Eastwood as being in the same class as Buderus? How often is it that we’ve had three top foreign players in our squad at the same time?
So why is it going to be any different now? All of a sudden are these top class players going to be coming over on cheaper wages or something?
what quota players would you get rid of instead to justify him taking up one of these spots

All this talk of Phelps being in jeopardy is crazy. We want to get rid of the most improved player in SL last season as well as him being arguably the inform FB for the 2nd half of the season? Some people say he’s overrated but imo it’s the complete other way around.
If Phelps plays like he did last season then he’s well on course for being our FB for the next 6-8 seasons easy.
