Quote: Cruncher "If what you're saying is that we should sack him because he's injured, I think you'd find that would be a legal minefield.

The alternative is to sell him mid-contract, but who will pay for a prop who's been injured for so long, seemingly with no end to it in sight? They wouldn't even take him on a give-away, as they'd still have to cough up his wages.

We could try to persuade him to retire, a la Amos, but he doesn't have to do that if he doesn't want to.

I agree that it's a frustrating situation, having so good a player doing nothing but eating up wages, but I don't think we can just wriggle out of it as easily as you suggest.'"


Yeah it seemed to come across as easy as that.
You would of thought he would of retired. Be great to see him back and play in his final few years.

Fustrating situation indeed k020.gif

I think we need to be ruthless rather than romantic I'm afraid, whilst it's nice to think that a fully fit (and raring to go) Stuart Fielden would add quality to the current Wigan pack the guy has played one league game in two years.

I think it's time to let his contract come to an end, thank him (especially for his efforts in 2006) and release him. Allows us to bring through yet another young and promising product into the first team squad.

Whether Stuart can get himself fit, get some game time in the reserves, break into the first team before the play-offs remains to be seen; but I can't see the club rewarding him another 12 month contract.

We will just have to wait and see, I would love to see a return but I highly doubt it ;(

I wouldn't mind us putting a cheeky offer in for Scott Taylor from Hull KR unless Wane wants someone a little more experienced.
