who is this fielden bloke?

ing moaning get, he was first off the line next to the ref every time and always ended up third man in, he got battered from pillar to post last night by all of our forwards(cept maybe rah who was a bit last night)

Fielden is finished.

Can't remember who said it but a few years ago, when he was outstanding in weekly 80 minute performances for Bradford, I remember a comment that all that punishment would take its toll. It's taken its toll on his effectiveness as a player, and, I suspect, it will on his body generally once he retires. He may have the odd good game but he is nowhere near the player he was.

He`d have to grow some of his own first!!!

Fielden is a mincer. Mason put him on his backside, Radford did the same in the fund-raiser boxing match for Steve Prescott, and he's been nothing ever since.

The Guy is a Great big girl. Think even thee Briers could put him on his . I know for sure nat wood would have!!!

I was wondering when behaving like that was allowed and not accompanied with a spell off the field.

Fielden was one of the top props in world rugby until a couple of years ago. Respected judges both here and in Australia agreed with this. He's a hatful of medals and awards and should arguably, at 29, be reaching his peak.

I don't think the Mason incident has got anything to do with his demise. He's mixed it in the front row for over 10 years now and was always able to handle himself. I think the stuffing was knocked out of him following the death of his mother. He went on the Ashes tour when not in the right frame of mind and has never been the same since.

It's only the fact that he signed for Wigan in a big money deal that's resulting in people gloating in his demise. Bradford won the WCC in 2006 and the only 2 players left from that team are Deacon and Cook. Can't blame Fielden for leaving, that team was dismantled due to Bradford's well documented financial problems. If he was still at Bradford he'd barely get a mention.

Having watched the game again, I actually feel sorry for Fielden. He tried, but he just got smashed all over the place.

Correctamundo

Been charged for using foul language.

Edit: NVM.

No

He wasn't happy quite rightly about that penalty but he should know better with regard to abusing the officials.

Made no attempt to back up and let Carvell rise, RG, which is in the rulebook. Fair pen matey.
