Quote: nikos "looks like we have been vindicated letting him go.
Saved a heap of salary cap, hasnt ripped it up elsewhere (and is injured/ill), had injuries in his position and coped admirably, not thwarted any Wigan youngster's development.
pretty much couldn't have gone better (from a WIgan point of view obviously)'"
You are distorting the facts here somewhat. He has played 9 out of 13 games for Huds. Same as Goulding for us. We have Prescott who has played 1, Lauaki who hasn't played any, Hansen on 2 and Mossop on 6.
Based on those stats Fielden is positively bullet proof in comparison.
As to his salary cap value I doubt he would be on a heap of dosh as I bet he isn't at Hudds.
The youngsters have stepped up to the plate but whether they can keep it up for a full season and handle tough CC matches and finals football where experience does count, well that remains to be seen.
