Had a fair bit of stick of late, but showed how valuable he can be when used correctly.

The reaction of the team to his try told a story in my opinion, looks to me like he has gone through the mill the last few weeks off the field in the gym and done what has been asked of him, he looked to have added some bulk and power, i know hope he kicks on and earns a new deal for next year.

You just need to keep him off the babies yed chips and gravy.

All i can say is Feka is back!

That one smash through for the try was all i needed to see, he is definatley getting some power back.

Sounds like a plan.

Feka was always going to have a two stage plan this year. Phase 1 get the weight off, Phase 2 get match fit.

I'm hardly his biggest fan but he had a real good game today.

Made up for him tbh.

He's a fans favourite because of the passion he shows but his fitness hasn't been acceptable over the years and Maguire won't carry passengers in defence. He obviously was doing the job asked of him today because Maguire left him on for longer periods and that tells the story in itself.

Well done Big Feka.

Great try. Was brilliant too see how the team and the fans reacted to it, not just because it was against Saints but because it was him. He's a fantastic person and he loves the club, that try gave him loads of confidence and you could tell how much it meant to him, thought he did nothing wrong today all our forwards were fantastic Maguires gonna have a head ache when it comes to selection time!

still our best go forward prop,o'carroll would probably be 1st misser!!!

Feka take a bow. He proved his doubters wrong (including me), his workrate was superb. Attitude spot on, he was great.

I'm over the moon for him, he has obviously been bitterly disappointed to be dropped but the work he has put in in training was there for all to see today.

Chuffed to bits for him.

If I was a Pie I would love hm because he tries when he gets his chance.

I thought O'Carroll was fantastic today, for me Prescott needs a rest now.

he was sensational today- they all were.
but lee mossop shone out more than anyone today
his hungerness to actually get the ball, run with it and his defence was suberb.

No other prop in our team could have scorred that try today IMO.

Coley, Stu and Prescott are dam good players BUT are quite similar in their styles. For me Feka gives us something different and he can't be ignored for next week.

Madge picks on form and my god Feka is on form.

I'd totally agree with that, barrell has been really good the past few weeks, and i'm worried that Prescott needs a rest (according to sky he got a 'badly broken nose' today)

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
