Well, he's not tested himself playing under a half decent coach in the NRL ...
Another one of those I-want-to-test-myself-in-Australia type players, until it comes to the crunch and in reality they'd prefer to run a few sandwich shops, rather than test themselves down under.

He can earn more over here I would have thought. Which in fairness would be my priority. Short career and all that. The point he makes about his friends and family is a fair one also. Brian Carney and Richie Mathers both apparently struggled with homesickness being so far away from friends and family.

| Spent force is Fielden.
It doesn't seem to be through lack of effort, he just gets bullied a lot on the pitch.
Last week at Wakie he celebrated his try like he'd won a grand final. Fair enough, a prop who hasn't scored in years, ok I get that, and it was an important try in the game. But all he did was bump off Sam Obst, he should be doing that on a weekly basis, at least. So he seemed more surprised than anyone when it happened.
He still has the build, and he does seem to put the work in, but he doesn't impress anymore. Far from it, usually A Another.

Good to see you reference The Most Feared Man In Super League as a 'man'. Shame I can't refer to you in the same way.

I don't remember any of those specifically talking about "testing" themselves in the NRL, whereas people such as Fielden, Peacock, Cunningham, et al, have.
I know people have mentioned about the likes of McGuire going over, but I don't recall anything from the player himself.

Not only has Noble been just about his only club coach but probably his only International coach also barring David Waite. What a kick in the nuts that would have been for Nobby.'" Who coached him for England against Wales last Autumn just before the squad was trimmed down for the Worl Cup?

| I thought so.
I wouldn't be overly surprised to learn there was another prior to David Waite also. Still not what you'd call an extensive selection to choose your favourite from if you were Stuart.

There are many armchair coaches on here who believe they are better than Nobby or David Waite, shame Fielden can't choose one of them really...

How dare you question the question! Throughout history the simple questions have elicited the most insightful answers.
Whoever asked this question should be hailed as a genius, not an idiot who perhaps asked it after a few beers.
BigSi(mon) from Bradford.

Something went wrong this time then because the answer wasn't in the least bit insightful afterall.
Well done for putting your hands up on here though.
There is a rule that states 'never ask a question you don't know the answer to.' That test was passed with flying colours.

There's another that says "never ask a question that you don't want to know the answer to", but I guess that might be a slightly different subject.
