That he was overrated ?

Really? Sounds to me like you're paying mega bucks for a player who does what a kid like Paul Clough does for Saints, probably for a 5th of the cash.

Yes really. I wouldn't of thought his metres gained per carry would be more or less on par with his one's at Bradford, nor would of thought his work in defence would be higher than his Bradford days.

It's not to say we should keep him nor am I trying to make out he's a world beater but it certainly does make surprising reading.

Why is it mis conception?

1.Does Fielden come one with Feka. Yes
.
2.Does Fielden do more tackling when he is on the field than Feka. Yes.

3.Does Feka do 2 / 3 big runs tires then gets targeted in defence. Yes

4.Is Fielden hated because how much he cost? Yes.

Is the Leeds pack line of, Peacock, Burgess, Leuluai, Lauitiiti, Bailey & Buchcanan, better than ours? IMO yes.

Would Fielden play better in a big pack like Leeds and Warrington than he does in a light weight pack like ours. IMO yes.

Look at S. Burgess had a very good year the other year in a big Bradford pack, not had a good year in a light weight pack this year.

The 1st 4 points are fact, the others are my opinion. You can agree or disagree that's what a debate is about, but you cant doubt Facts.

I presume you know that for certain?

I mean, you would lose any credibility you haven't got if you quoted that without actually knowing, wouldn't you?

Its good to see a thought through reply.
Rather than gets paid too much + Yorkie + Not Feka + Not a crowd pleaser = Crap

The irony BK. I do find it disrespectful that you took the name of a club legend yet behave as you do in his name.

The combined salary of Fielden and Feka is nearly between 400,000 and 500,000 per season. Ask Mick Hogan if you want confirmation.

What a strange poster you appear to be. You think Feka and Fielden are a single player.

How odd.

Does that mean if the opposition break through the tackle of one of them, the other has to step aside and allow them to run through?

Maybe they are not allowed to pass to one another, or have to take it in turns to pack down in the scrum?

I have heard seen some tripe being posted on here over the years. You have only been on 2 minutes and are already making a play for the top 10.

Yeah because I'm sure Mick Hogan would disclose that kind of information

. I highly doubt if he would even know it - he works in the marketing department not payroll as far as I'm aware.

Also given Farrell was our highest earner before leaving on £166,667 per year (£1m 6 year contract) if I remember correctly, I would be very disappointed if Fielden and Feka's combined salaries were above £300k. I would like to think it was more in the £200-250k region at most.

Call it 450k then!!!

Jesus H Christ!!!!! Noble & IL are not doing a bad job getting the other 23 or so players in the other 1.15 million are they!!!!!!

So 2 x players are taking over a Qtr of the wage bill?? Whilst 23 players take under 3qtrs!!!!!!!!

No wonder theres such a bad feeling at the club!!!!!!!

Considering Bailey's on 200k a year and Gleeson is getting 150k a year along with Tommy/Richards/Riddell/Roberts!

That leaves about 100k for the other 15 players inc Phelps/Carmont/Smith before his injury/Hock before his supension/Coley/Goulding/Hansen/J Tomkins/Prescott/Pryce etc etc etc!!!!!!!!

They must be playing for Peanuts then!!!!!!

Unless that is no-one REALLY knows how much they are getting!!!!!

I wonder which one of the stories is true!

Can somebody explain to JJB what a fact is

Since Wigan played Salford in the CC QF, the starting props for Wigan have been Coley and Prescott. That is a fact Stuart Fielden was absent for the CC QF, suspended?

For the last 6 game Wigan have played Feka and Fielden have been on the reserve bench That is a fact

Fielden has started games on 3 occasions with Feka. He has started as many games with O’Carroll in preference to Feka. He has started more games with Coley, 8 Those are facts.

So we can conclude that because you can only recall the most recent games you initial premise is a misconception because it is incorrect.

That is a fact
