He's a vital part of the SQUAD'"


How can he be a vital part of the squad when he plays less than 20 mins a game.

We beat Catalan 58-0 without feka playing.

We beat Hull tonight 48-24 without feka playing.

Feka plays and we lose 22-20 against Bradford.

Feka ain't good enough for Wigan.

I agree he looked a bit slow when running it in although sometimes I think pace can look quite deceptive when a person has a long stride as opposed to some one like O'Carrol who always apprears to run full belt. Take Richards for example, there are times when he looks like he is strolling!!
That said I agree with your point, Coley needs to run a bit harder (without dropping it!) rather than running up slow then trying to push in the tackle.

Perhaps he needs a rest?the rotation system has got the best out of the likes of O'Carrol and Prescott.

Coley will never be a Paleaaesina in terms of charging the ball in but i thought he ran with a little less vigour last night then he has been doing in the first 5 games so far this year. Am I right in recalling that you said earlier this week you'd heard he was due a rest because of a Sternum injury? If thats the case then maybe he was feeling it a touch last night in he'll get a week off next week against Cas.

I'm a big Coley fan and hope we sign him on another one year deal at the end of this season. The same goes for Coley and if we can do that and bring another really top quality prop in like Luke Bailey or Josh Perry we'll have a fearsome pack. The continued improvment of guys like Prescott, Mossop and O'Carroll is hugely pleasing aswell.

Yes my insider at the camp icon_cool.gif said Coley's having injections in his sternum before and during the game due to a knock he got at the wire game. A rest might benefit him, looking at his stats and the fact he is no spring chicken I bet he's buggered!

Totally agress he is a different sort of player than Feka and we will never see those runs that Feka does. I think Prescott and Coley are very similar , real workhorses and every team needs them.

I would hate to think that Leneghan and co will release any of our props at the end of the season (not so sure about Feka yet but too early to decide). Do you remember when we got rid of O'Connor and Cassidy etc at the end of one season, it really unsettled the team. I would like fielden to be offered 2 years (on sensible wages) and Coley 1 year to help us out in a transitional period when we bring in the new "enforcer" and players like Mossop and Prescott step up .

Quote: clifford "Yes my insider at the camp

I suppose we shouldn't forget Ben Davies in any equation of our prop make up over the next couple of years. I read he's very good and when i've seen him he looks a very tough lad. It's great that lads like O'Carroll, Prescott, Mossop and Davies have 2 blokes like Fielden and Coley to play and especially train with. By all accounts Fielden is one of the most porfessional trainers in world rugby league and for these lads to see that day in day out can only do them good.

I love the attitude of our younger guys that have come through over the last couple of seasons. They all look level headed and hard working and don't have the old charlie big potato's mentality of some of our last real bunch of young guys that came through(guys like Dave Allen and Chris Ashton spring to mind as super talented big heads).

As for the weekend i'd rest Coley at Cas if he is struggling. Theres bigger games coming up with all due respect to Cas and we don't want to make his injury any worse.

Quote: Lippy "Regarding Roberts, if you got a programme, have you read the question by Jacob Cunningham on page 31??

for those who didn't or have not,

Q - What is your favourite position,

A - "Its good now with Madge here, because I can go inside looking for the ball, and that's what I like. I'm not just stuck to being on the wing, it doesn't keep me one-dimensional"

The above speaks volumes! He also says he got in a good pre-season and did some boxing. It's there in black and white now. Roberts acknowledges Madge for his improvement this season.

Stuart Fielden is a totally different player to the one last season. He seems so hungry for the ball now and isn't get dominated in the tackle. He's been our best prop forward over the last six games IMO.

Mark Riddell looked like a player who had been told to run with the ball more from dummy half. It is what he was famous for in the NRL and he has never really done this consistently whilst at Wigan. He had a much better game to the one at Bradford.
