Quote ="jjb10"No me & Fielden aren't related. It just bores me that every time Wigan lose. Its either Fielden or Lockers who we should drag outside Wigan Town Hall and shot.
The guy is playing in a young light weight pack with 2 average hookers, not to mention he is in a leaderless team. But because he is meant to be on at least 200k a year its his fault. TBH Roberts bombed 2 easy opportunities to score and then dropped Wilkin's bomb for Pryce's try no 6 page spread on him being 3. We also scoot over the fact that he is a damn good defensive player but because he can't hit the ball like Feka (who cant tackle), he is 3. We also keep using him as dummy runner as someone else has pointed out, his last 2 tries came against Bradford and if my memory serves me right where from about 5 yards out. As a team we dont use our big guys enough near the line.
Last season when we needed him and made him captain he performed, the season we where looking at relegation guess what? he performed.
This year i admit his performance hasn't made me run out and get his name on the back of mine or my kids tops. But although people on here dont like stats he isn't the worst player in the team. We need Fielden in the team, but we also need a better platform for the props to work off.'"
Stuart makes straight up tackles. Nobody can argue on that. He never hurts opponents. He can be a liability in defence when the ball is being moved about and attackers are using foot work. I thought Feka put some good hits in defensively v Saints. Stuart just cannot time runs or run into space. You cannot keep blaming the hooker. He has had what 6 different hookers? so you cannot then say oh it's Higham's fault. His running lines re just not very good.
