Some players are over-hyped just because they are made to look better than they are playing in a successful team. Fielden is a prime example.

When Leeds signed Jamie Peacock, nearly every fan moaned about the fact that they wish we'd signed Fielden instead. I told people at the time that Peacock is an inspirational leader (remember Bulls winning run to the 2005 GF?). Since then, Fielden has been exposed as a less than average player when playing in a mediocre team.

Paleasena (?) and Hock are truly world-class forwards...Fielden is an embarassment. I think Noble only plays him to justify the huge wages and transfer fee they paid.

I think the referee did hear it, as Feilden was taken to one side pretty much straight after the incident.

Or someone told the ref what he said, after they had watched the replay.

Watch the Wire v Wigan highlights on superleague site

Morley owns Fielden with a big hit to show him that there's only one guv'ner

Personally i don't think the ref heard it as such, when fielden got pulled over before the re-start(and you probably didn't see this on sky as bridge lined up the kick) he was having a right pop at the Touchies behind the sticks and was seperate from the wigan huddle. He's probably said something ott at that point as well.

Yeah...whatever you say

You might want to read what you just wrote about some players being over hyped

Hock has attitude and discipline problems that seriously undermine his undoubted talent, whilst the fat bloke can't do more than 20 minutes across 2 spells, a world class prop needs a lot more than that.

Morley tried to smash an 18 year old mcIllorum once and came off second best and had to go off injured.

Yeah, total guv'nor

Because Wigan won't offer him the same money on his next contract.
Salford can't afford the wedge any more than any other club. He'll have to take a pay cut whatever happens.

eamon o'carroll was'nt it?

Certainly was.

I was quite near and could hear him. Couple of expletives but nothing well OTT.

Hocks given away 5 penalties this season.

He's totally cleaned his act up.

Oh dear. It was O'Carroll (a fellow prop) and he broke his eye socket due to making an awkward contact. Morley has tackled the biggest and the best in the world and anyone that doubts his status doesn't know rugby league.
My favourite Morley tackle was on the big stage at the NRL Grand Final when he squared things up after the Rooster's star player, Brad Fitler, had been taken out by a headbut and had blood flowing from a bad cut causing him to knock on (the tackler was then Aussie international Richard Villisanti).
When play resumed Morley steamed in, hit him with everything and rattled the Warriors, it changed the momentum of the game and showed the Warriors who was the real hard man out there.

The Roosters came from behind and won the game, with Fitler and Ricky Stuart praising Morley.rl]
