Thought he was immense today, under no illusions about the quality of Crusaders but still he was the one who was getting us rolling forward at the start of each restart.

God knows why they kept kicking to that side, never saw him make a mistake either, adds more power, options, and strength to an already formidable pack

Don't write Fielden off yet.

I think he'll be in the side come the run in and we may get the awesome foursome everyone craves.

Ian Lucas! I think it could be, bare in mind i can only have been 6-12 years old when Lucas played for us... Fair comparison?

Agree with all this, Stu was a great player for us at times but he's become a bit of a liability through injury!

Dudson seems a bit more level headed, there's no thrashing to get to his feet or battling with his opposite number, he does his job (well) gets to his feet and plays the ball. Which is one area that Fielden would let himself down in, making errors, he'd be too per-occupied in an him vs me battle.

But why should he be?, does he get in because of who he is or his name, sorry but if he hasn't earned the right to play then why should somebody who has given there best all season move aside for a once great player, if he doesn't earn a place then he don't play imo, there's no place for sentimentality and has been's in RL

if his name was Stu "Ah Van" Fielden he would be in the team even if he was on crutches.........Wane will pick players on merit...... he is 9th choice if he was fit tomorrow
