Much improved, keep it up for the rest of the season please Stu

Improved from very poor.

He was better but still not good enough. He did much better hitting the line and running through.

The old Stuart Fielden doesn't exsist anymore and his form of the past 2 games by his Wigan standards has been pretty good.

I'd settle for a full season of it next year.

It was a good performance from Stu tonight from behind the sticks he seemed very fired up and very vocal. Was a machine in defence, better going forward and i think he seems to have put on a little bit of weight. Coincidence? Hope he keeps it up.

Looks to have picked up a knock towards the end. Have a week off next week for him to recover, if he's not fit, try Davies against Hull?

What happened towards the end?...Feeling the lower back....But played good tonight....

Good call, it wouldn't hurt to let Davies have a game, McDermott mentioned in commentary that he thought he was ready for a game or two and what a great prospect he is.

He was great in defence and his work with the ball in hand was ok/not bad but lets be honest he could only improve on his recent performances as hes been awful for a long time. Seeing him go down holding his back confirmed to me what ive always thought-hes well past it. I know it was an awkward tackle but the way he lay there looked like a man whos body was completely worn out. Im at the stage where i feel sorry for him now.

Aye I'm often critical of Fielden but he's at least starting to be average, which is an improvement. Whether he's injured or not I'd still drop him next week if McIllorum's fit, just give Mossop a run at prop. I'm convinced he'll manage it well. If Fielden has a run in the reserves I'm convinced it'll do him some good being the best prop on the pitch once again.

Im not sure he would be. His body really does look completely shattered.

When getting up to the play the ball, sometimes it's like watching Rocky Balboa getting up of the floor in the 15th Round.

I didn't want to be the one to say that he wouldn't even look class at reserve level but you're probably right, still think it would be the smart thing to do though.

I thought he played pretty well last night.

His body language seemed positve and he seemed full of confidence which reflected onto his performance.

He just needs to gain consistancy.

He is a shadow of his former self from his Bradford days which is a mystery as he was storming for them. Why do you think this is so ?

Because he had three other good big props playing alongside him.

he still needs to go, hopefully if Nobby is on his way he will take him with him or stuart should do the decent thing and retire or at least ask for a release so he can go elsewhere on his own, couldn't break wind that fella, Brady Malam caused more of problem for the oppositions defence and we all know how that signing worked out

Four if you count Peacock who for a long time played second row at Bradford. You could argue they had props on the wings aswell!

When the Rhinos signed Jamie Peacock a lot of people moaned that we should have signed Fielden instead. After the character Peacock showed in leading the Bulls to GF glory in 2005 I knew Rhinos had aquired someone who nearly always gave 100% on the pitch. But rather than say "told you so" to the pro-Fielden brigade, I would rather say how sorry it is to see a former world class prop reduced to a mere shadow of his Bradford self.

How pig-sick are the Wigan fans that you paid so much money for a dud?

Personally feel he needs to gain some weight as IMO he is lightweight compared to his bradford days

Mossop looked bigger than Fielden tonight. A 20 year old second row shouldnt be bigger than a 30 year old prop

I thought Fielden played well last night apart from the c*ck up at the play the ball which led to the last Cas try, but he was injured so didn't get his leg out of the way.

At the game I thought it was Riddells fault, but watching it again it was probably the very poor play the ball.

Fileden was the best prop on the park last night, I just wish we had another big, nasty, horrible prop to play alongside him.

Could well need to.

I thought Fielden looked up for the game - I feel you can always tell whether you're going to get a decent performance from him or a shocking one from his first couple of carries. When he's up for it, he can still be an asset - mainly in defence but also with quick the play balls when he's allowed to do them.

The problem with Fielden is he appears to be a broken man. Im not sure his body allows him to compete for anymore than 40 minutes in a game nevermind week in week out.

Said it before....its almost unimaginable now but those two were on a par as the best props in the country and up there in the world when we got fielden!! What a difference we would have seen if only we'da gone for peacock......I would think we would have seen some silverwear by now tbh!
