I look on with sadness at the rapid decline of Stuart Fielden but i have to ask what has the great Brian Noble done to enhance his game ?

has he developed an offload after 10 years of SL - no
does he provide his side with great go-forward - no
can he bust a tackle anymore - no
why does his momentum go backwards as he approaches the defence ?

I don't believe his career is over but he has become stale playing under such a poor coach, he needs to change clubs and fast to save his career. He needs a coach who can identify these areas to rebuild his game.

Ooh, sweetheart, you want to be careful with accusations like that

I think he should be given a bit more slack when being penalised as he see's 3 of everything.

His only redeeming feature is that now, when he gets smashed by another prop, he doesnt mouth off when he plays the ball like he used too, because now, everyone knows hes soft.

I agree with this, I would have had him at Saints when Wigan signed him, now though he wouldn't even get on the bench at Saints.

Wigan let Hargreaves go so they could keep hold of Fielden, I think Saints got the better deal.

Something wrong at Wigan IMO and I think you have to start with Noble.

Have to agree.

Fielden is nowhere near the player he once was and as has been said the Mason incident seems to have been a key issue.

They also let Wilkes go as part of the deal.
I think Wilkes go as well. And Wakie haven't done to bad out of it.

I think Wire should take him on a free

Wigan have of late, a reputation for ruining careers whereas Wire are reviving them.

Mathers is rubbish, right?

What? Locky's probably been our best player all year you muppet.

In Mathers' case it has a lot to do with the coach at Wire now I think.

Sydney Roosters are looking to off load Big Willy.
A swap could be the answer, Big Willy for softco*k
Made in Heaven.

For all the calling of Fielden, I bet he's still one of
the highest paid players in the game. So he wont be to bothered.
