He did his best when he was with us. He was good in 2010 and when he first joined us. We didn't see the best of him, and didn't get many games from him, but that's almost certainly not his fault. His best times were clearly at Bradford, where he was immense till 2005ish if memory serves.
It seems to me to be a valid comment to mention that the club did the right thing to let him go. He's had a good careeer, been very well paid and has a job to go to, so it's hardly as if we need to feel that sorry for him, unless I'm missing something.

I hope he writes a book!

One of the best props in the world in his Bradford days but people often forget that he also played as part of a tremendous pack of forwards that dominated almost every team they played.

At Wigan this was not the case and Fielden was easily targeted by the opposition but despite this he really improved under Maguire and was a good servant for Wigan.

Absolute monster in his bulls days and one of very few players that (as a fan) i was intimidated by when he was playing against us.

People can say whatever they want about his transfer fee but he was the ultimate pro for us and pretty much did not miss a game for the first few years. Yeah the injuries caught him up in the end, but i bet he was still hammering the gym in between layoffs to keep himself in shape.

Top bloke, top player and i wish him well.

I respect the fact that he said 'much bigger salary' when asked for the main reasons he left Bradford, who were still up there at the time. 99.9% of players wouldn't admit it in an interview, it's nice for a player to admit it.

Genuinely gutted for the guy

As had already been said , a true gent , I wish him all the very best
