Quote: Exeter Rhino "Anyone who thinks he is better than Fielden needs their head read'"
Are some people having reading problems here?
I agree, he is not better than Fielden. But again I say, that's not what people are saying. They are saying he's a better signing than Fielden, because of his age. Difference between "better player" and "better signing".
In the same way that signing Elliott Whitehead may be considered a better signing than Steve Menzies. Menzies is undoubtedly the better player, but you're gonna get a lot more years out of Whitehead who is still improving.
There's also the "value for money" option, as no doubt Hargreaves is on less than Fielden.
