I'm sure he'll be in on Monday not just because he had a pretty good game today but why risk Coley? If he wasn't fit today then two days isn't much of a turnaround to get fully fit for the next one.

Was a top effort in that scrum were we won possesion too that was all down to Feka.

Also why didnt Meli's trip on Amos get penalised ?

Absolutely chuffed for Paleaaesina, and judging by the reaction to his try, so are the rest of the players.

He was pivotal in both our scores today; firstly it was Feka who won us the ball with the big push in the scrum, which from the field position we gained from that, Goulding scored, and then his solo effort for the second try was superb.

He made big, important yards with ball in hand and worked hard in defence. Added to that he was on the field for longer than he has been in a long while, it was a brilliant return from the big fella.

He is clearly well liked amongst the fans, and players, and I hope he earn a new contract, because when used correctly, he is devastating.

As has been said, the real challenege for Feka after shedding all the weight was going to be getting fully match fit, and ready to run through brick walls for the side. Today, he was close to achieving that.

JonH called this very early. he spent the off season shedding weight to be more mobile but had to neglect the strength and conditioning . that is now starting to build up. feka has a very big part to play this season.

Feka, O'Carroll and Mossop are fantastic. Pies for a long awaited trophy is what I say. Give the lads a bowl of lobby and you will win everything.

What did surprise me was that he seemed to have gained some weight again, i expected him to stay around the same weight and make some power gains, but it appears the latter has come with the former.

I still think he is 4-5 weeks away from being the finished article for this season.

do you think that weight was muscle mass rather than fat. he seemed more mobile but his effectiveness for me was down to the timing of the interchange. a good performance that will only get better

Difficult to say, either way I think the conditioning staff may have gone a little astray on handling of Feka, which with such an individual specimen like him is not hard to do, but they have assessed where he is, and somewhat changed the plan and now seem to be on the right track, which is the sign of an excellent conditioner in my opinion.

Everyone gets things wrong from time to time, but the really good people in all walks of life assess where things are going wrong and correct it, as simple as it sounds on paper rarely from my experience in rugby league do coaches recognise that.

Well Done Feka!! Great game

if you was a pie he would have eaten you by now

Prescott needs to add a few more kilo's imo, give him a little bit more size and power going forward

great to see feka back, played as per, kin brill, with passion and commitment. Totally thrilled to see the comaraderie that is obvious i this team whe Fek scored all the team sprinted to cogratulate him, I think this clearly illustrates that Madge has made the players feel valued, and ensures they do not loose that competitive attitude to make them hungry for their place, super psychology thats working.

having a problem with my N button on the last post sorry.

Anyone who trains in a gym will tell you, when you lose lots of weight, you lose your strength, its impossible not too. Its the basic principal that you have to burn more calories than you take in, and to lose over 2 stone he's burned off a fair few calories, and with fat he will have lost a lot of muscle too. What he is probably doing now is getting some strength back through proper diet and putting good weight back on. In a month or so we will probably see the best Feka in a long time.

Yes and he would have liked it, because I am juicy like you mi julie.

most telling thing for me was the reaction to his try. Both fekas and the rest of the team. At least what I saw until I got swamped. Terrible end to my day though. The weather killed my sky+ recording so only recorded the first half. Went to turn my PC on and none of the USB Ports are working now, so hunched over my mobile.

Well said hopefully MM has got faith in Feka as he has done what MM asked of him by loosing the weight, I think it showed today Feka is popular with both team mates and fans alike so hopefully if MM continues to give him a chance to show what he can do he will get another contract, on a personal note if he leaves Wigan what am I going to change my 3 years old staffys name to!!!

He is a great metre maker when he plays at a decent level! Competition for places is not doing us any harm.

Well done Feka ! Keep it up, he enjoyed scoring that try in front of us.

just watching the highlights again, i think if feka wasnt playing we wouldnt have won this match, his try was fantastic and when he pushed all the saints players back in the scrum for Lockers to break was absoloutely fantastic, keep it up Feka

He certainly got us on the way with his try, and clearly is a very popular squad member.

He has gone through a massive change, more so than anyone else at the club, and things like his effort today, remind us why he perhaps deserves a little longer to get back on track.

If you want a copy i can do you one

The most telling thing for me was the reaction to his try. He got up, started to punch the badge and all the players surrounded him. When he plays, it has a positive effect on the players, and I think him bundling over for a try had a massive effect on the game turned out.

After Feka's try, it shot straight to Madge and he was smiling and laughing too, so he is a very popular squad member and the relief in both Feka's and Madge's faces could be seen too, both thinking that the hard work put in over the off season was worth it.

Go on Big Fella!

great to see him back in the frame . It just gives us more options,more strength in depth. i am sure he will just build on that start

The fact everyone on the pitch and majority of the supporters were shouting "TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" yet Feka demanded the ball and bounced over the try line for four insted.

Maguire and Wane were laughing after it

Probably thinking we'll have them for ignoring us in a bit and the players after he scored all celebrated like we had just won the Grand Final running to the big man and jumping on him.

Quality!
