I have a feeling Fielden may want to return to Yorkshire at the end of his contract anyway.

He was having a bellter yesterday couldnt figure out why mm took im off when he did in the first half

I thought he had a good game. I wont go overboard like some of the other superlatives that have been thrown his way. I still dont think hes anywhere near an england shirt though and hes certainly not up there with Carvell like someone has suggested. That said, given his experience and current form, he would be a major asset to any club I feel.

Hes better than Carvell

I would like to retract my statement.

I agree, hes better than Carvell

This is my ratings for English props

1. Graham - need i say any more about this man?

2. Peacock, Morley - Solid and Dependable, would give any team a massive boost

3. Lynch, Scruton, Carvell, Coley, Fielden, Crabtree - good club players who wouldnt go amiss in an England jersey

Pretty accurate, albeit I think Crabtree has capitulated back to his usual batting below his weight form of previous seasons. Once again, for fear of one-eyed, terrace-esque response, Ryan Bailey's form this season for Leeds has been outstanding and his workrate, occupation of players around the ruck, nuisance value, ability to dominate opponents is something many of the above don't offer and England are lacking since Barrie Mac, Kelvin Skerrett, Neil Cowie et al.

Ryan Bailey is just a penalty machine though.

When Fielden is pumped up and confident in himself, there's very, very few players I'd have ahead of him in Super League. When he's in this mode, he gives the whole team a lift - he takes it upon himself to ensure the side meets the standards that are needed. Look at the rollocking he gave Bailey and co after missing the tackle on Pryce for the first try.

To be fair, he's been like this for most games this year - by far his best year for Wigan.

Stu himself didn't look too chuffed with the decision when he came off in the first half, he looked up at Madge and Wane on the gantry and shook his head as is to say 'what the ...... did you take me off for?'

He's definately one to keep and as much as I like Feka he's the least effective of our 5 front line props so bye bye Feka.

I wished we had left him on for more of the game tbh; he was immense and we all know he can do the minutes.

Doubt that mate. Crusaders maybe. I can see why he's a fans favourite. Similar to when Lima was with us.

Fielden- 2 year deal
Coley-1 year deal

that is what i'm hoping for and also that we add another prop to the squad to work alongside them aswell as getting Hock back part way through the year. If that happens then we'll have a monster pack.
