The question is will he be offered one anywhere else?

If not, he'll take what we're prepared to give him. Which will be considerably less than last time.

Should be more than halved imo

another fielden and contract thread.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think he will be offered a new contract but on a lot less money.

depends on size of contract and also whos available to take his place

should he no

will he prob but for less money

Sorry Mooster didnt see one anywhere else. I do appoligise for sending you to sleep

I dont know really he been pretty poor for us on the whole.

And he wont be getting any better as he will be nearly 30 and in decline. Yes i realise that props usually mature at this age, but for me fielden is a classic case of too much too young!

Depending on how our young props are doing i may be tempted to offer him a one year rolling deal on a maximum of half what he is on now.

If he can find someone else to pay him more then fair enough let him go there! But that would also go for at least 3 more in the squad.

no.....end of

From what i hear he is are top earner. Getting rid of him should give us a lot of money to buy a much better prop

Ring up and complain if he gets one.

why ? wont make any difference.

Just woke up again.

its just seems at least once a week on here fielden gets slagged of about his contract. there is only one person in the whole of the sporting world who nows what is goig to happen to fielden and thats IL.

its not his fault he was given a big contract nobody in there right mind would turn a huge pay packet down are we going to discuss his contract every week until 2010 ?

Think its time we got of his back and dealt with the fact the bloke is on a good wedge.

Why bother when there's so much webspace on here just waiting to be filled with pages and pages of whinging about something nobody can do anything about!

COOOOORRRRRRRRECT !

your right..........ive never seen as many whingers gathered on one forum in my life.

Irony at its best.

thats why i come on here mate.......i feel at home

yeah clearly a well like guy

yes he should be offered. his work rate is second to none and IIRC there were a lot of calls on hear toward the end of last year advocating him to take the captiancy from lockers due to his form and on field leadership. he is vocal and commited. i think that a pack is exactly that, a "PACK" ie a group of people who operate as a unit. we should be looking to get bring Props in as opposed to getting shut of any. perhaps it will be a reduced offer (if at all) but IMO big stu has never shuned any work, has always been honest with the fans for any lack of form he has suffered and has never (unlike a few of them) openly criticsed the fans for having a pop at the team when results dont go our way.

in a lot of ways he is a victim of his own succses because he will always tackled by at least 3 defenders. if our support players could learn to manipulate these gaps then we would all be saying how great a decoy runner he is for opening these holes in our oppositions line.

one thing i would like to see is him get in a few more punch ups, thus getting his temper up and increasing his aggresion. many will disagree but if you look how he was at Bradfurt he was always scrapping, therefore he have a real enforcer rep that opposition fans used to dread seeing because you knew that he would be all over your pack and probably comming out on top.

I think he will be offered, purely on his work rate, but he will have to accept a much lower rate of pay for him to stay at Wigan.

The amount of money it will free up means we can approach other targets with better offers than last year, but agents will know this and ask more money for their clients, swings and roundabouts, but if Noble is still here I think Fielden will be offered a new contract, reduced probably.

He should definatly be offered one imo.

He may not be the blockbusting prop of old but he still does a very good job and is on a par with the likes of Kylie Leuluai who we're reported to be interested in.

He'll have to take a huge drop in money and rightfully so but if he's willing to i'd keep him for certain.

Depends who is available how much we could retain him for and his performances over the next 9-12 months.

My gut feeling is no as I see LMS as a player who will be available then and would fill the role that should be filled by Fielden, ie of a grafting yard making Prop perfectly, but sadly rarly is fulfilled by him.
