Stuart Fielden has done a good job so far this season. He has improved as his team mates around him have improved. However, I don't think he is worth signing on and is a player I think we can improve on.

People really rate Stuart's defensive work-rate, but Coley's is actually better:

Coley (who has played one less game) has made more tackles and more marker tackles. Not only does Coley work harder in defence, he also hits much harder in defence. His defence against Huddersfield was brutal, putting in some massive shots. When was the last time Stu put in a big hit? Going forward there isn't much to choose between them, Stuart has made slightly more metres and carries, but he has also played an extra game. Coley seems to be a key part of this captains team and is rumoured to be very popular with his team mates. I bet he is on a considerably less wage than Fielden too.

We need to strengthen the pack. So one of Coley, Fielden and Feka must go. For me it's Fielden that needs to be replaced. Andy Coley has improved each season and is the better player for me & is a more valuable asset to the team. Even with Fielden on reduced terms you're still going to get the same player. We need to improve on Stuart. So if it was up to me, he would be the one to go and I would extend Andy's contract for another year with an option for a second in the clubs favour. This gives us chance to weigh up how Prescott, O'carroll and Davies are developing & how Gareth Hock and Lee Mossop fit into the squad.

Why should Feka not go? If we are going on stats then Fielden's are far better across the board. If Fielden is willing to take a large paycut then im happy for him to stay

Coley should stay thats for sure, last week was one of his best games in a Wigan shirt. He seems to get better with every game this season

Well for me it's Feka i'm afraid. Yes he offers us something different, but personally that something different isn't what I actually want, what I actually want is more of the same we get from Coley+Fielden in the other 2 props (not criticising Barrell, I think he's been performing well)

I'm also unsure still currently as to the availability (and realistically their desire to play here) of a prop that I'd feel offered a genuine improvement.

We all have different views on what we want from a squad, and i'm very firmly in the 2+2 camp when running 4 forwards (40 - 45 minute props) unless I could get a genuine high standard 60 minute+ prop (there are only a tiny amount of these in RL).

I also really agree with something that Clifford posted, in that I don't think it's an area we're underperforming in, so I wouldn't make a change unless it was for somebody very special.
