Not sure scoring tries is top requirement for a prop forward.

definitely not.

It would be a backwards step and a bad move imo.

Is there any truth in these rumours? Or more sheer nonsense?

I think the issue keeps getting raised until we all say 'Oh go on then'.

Brad need play like Stu Fielden in team

If Lynch isn't extending his contract it would leave us inexperienced up front and, whatever his form at Wigan, Fielden has been there, seen and done it all. It would very much depend on wages for me as at the right price and if he could regain some form he could do a job.

Lots of ifs I know.

Oh go on then, let's sign him

I have stated before that whilst his best days are behind him, he is still a decent SL Prop. I wouldn't sign him to lead a pack, but if we needed a 4th choice Prop next year then at the right price (average SL Prop salary) then yeah I would take him back.

That's not to say he would be my first choice of Props available for next year though. There is of course the fair argument of giving some of the younger guy's a chance to establish themselves too though. Has Crossley been tearing up tree's trying to earn his place in the side?

It's interesting that ten people would like Fielden back at the Bulls, but, if I understand Bradford Service Crew correctly only he has put some sort of reason behind their descision.

Ok...

What happens to all the ends of the words? Is it like a Back to the Future thing where the words are slowly disappearing because of time travel?

Thats all perfectly reasonable if you ask me, one of the issues I have with this story being dragged back up occationally is that Fielden is contracted to Wigan for next year. So we'd need to pay a fee - not gonna happen, or wait another year, when he'll be 31 - thus making any form/confidence issues currently redundant. I'll wait for the poll on Fielden to Bulls June 2010!

They could release him from his final year, unlikely after what they paid for him, but stranger things have happened

That might depend if Noble leaves and an incoming coach wants his own players in. Freeing a chunk of salary cap for a player who hasn't performed as they expected might be a sensible decision from the clubs point of view.

Unless another club took on his contract, or Fielden agreed to waive the cash (unlikely) Fieldens wage for 2010 would still count on their cap would it not if they released him? Unless a mutial agreement is reached with Fielden having another club lined up I suppose.



It would be sensible, and it could well be coach dependant, but its still unlikely if you ask me and Fielden will see out his contract at Wigan IMO.

Fielden was very lucky to stay on the field on Friday night. Having now watched the match off my Sky+, he should have been sent off for what he said to the referee.

Since it was clearly caught on camera, I would hope the RFL make an example of it and give him a match ban for it.

(For those who didn't see it or can't lip read at all, Fielden, while on camera, clearly angrily called the referee a "f'ing bent b'tard", but without the censoring)

Not an effing chance, we've already got too many over paid kickers at the club.

On the other hand though, if we could ship some of the freeloaders we've got at the minute back across the Pennines as part of a deal that might be an atractive prospect...

That is the pot calling the kettle black is it not?

Certainly an interesting pick up line..

Funnily enough, that's very similar to my comment when I was watching it

I reckon he would go well with a move back to Yorkshire

Take away the pressure of being most expensive player and all that lark then he would do well I think

No thanks, well past it

Maybe at Featherstone, yeah.

Actually, do Hebden Bridge have a team?
