Ironically I've heard Nobby comment on Fielden. And he continues to pick him week in week out.

Wonder what his take is on Fielden?

Looked a very frustrated player today.

Pat still looked like he wasn't fit, Tomkins, quite pleasingly looked gutted.

Good Lad!

Funnily enough, this was commented on in the pub tonight.

However, rather than saying that his looking gutted was "unprofessional" or other such b0ll0cks, we were pleased that he wanted to win so badly that he couldn't bring himself to celebrate a consolation try.

Quite rightly too, imo.

If we had 17 lads who felt that way, we'd be doing a hell of a lot better than we are right now I think.

(Plus he copped a fair old smack in the mush on his way through for that try, which probably didn't help)

poor lad he was charging about the field trying to tackle everything and trying to inspire our aussies at one time he was on some big forwards back and getting no help at all.

Namely this joker.

That JOKER is holding OUR club to ransom and will do so as long as his contract is in place, the only alternative i can see is a swap with Wigan taking a massive hit on the wages until the end of his contract but at least we will be able have a prop that isnt a money grabbing coward (and yes i would say that to his face)

shows his passion for the club

We were all talking about this in the pub too, definitely looked like he was about to cry. And to be fair I always think Fielden looks incredibly gutted when we lose or he does something wrong, like he can't understand why he's so rubbish.

As a former Wigan season ticket holder, now living in Perpignan, I look back at the wonder years of the late 80s early 90s when Wigan had players like Edwards and Gregory who had a real pride in the shirt. Yesterday I saw only Tomkins and Ainscough who had that sort of commitment. As for Paleaaesina
I don't see the point in playing him. If he breaks the line he needs someone on his heels to pass to. He is not really fit enough to play for more than ten minutes at a time.

To me it didn't look like they couldn't be @r$ed just they were distraught and gutted with the result.

I was however more pi55ed off to see so many happy smiling relaxed faces on some of the pack immediately at the final whistle as they chatted and shook hands with Catalans. If Sam and Pat were gutted why do some of the others not go through the same emotions of disappointment and let down??
