Iafeta Paleaaesina (Wigan) - Bradford
The hard-hitting and powerful prop forward is under the chopping board under Michael McGuire's Wigan, with rumours close to the club suggesting a fall-out between the player and coach.

Having been dropped from first team action in-favour of youngster Chris Tuson, the out-of-contract player is on his way out, with Bradford making enquiries regarding his signiture.

OK

Source?

Very plausible though.

He's very much out of favor with Madge at the minute, but for what reasons is unknown.

I really don't want to play against Feka next season.

I think it’s one of the very few negative aspects of Madge’s time at the club so far that he’s not been able to unlock the potential in Feka.

It will be a very sad day when Feka walks out at the DW in another teams colours.

I agree, hope it isn't true to be fair. Whilst we haven't seen much of him this season, that doesn't make him a bad player. We all know what impact Feka can create, trouble is he hardly ever receives a deep pass.

Trouble is he hardly ever runs from deep to receive one to.

I've thought that myself a few times this season.

Also whilst his effort in previous seasons could possibly have been called into question that hasn’t been the case this season. You only have to look at the dramatic weight loss to show the effort he’s put in.

His defence has also improved as of late as well although he still doesn’t get the credit for it.

Whats his quota situation ?

Even when he doesn't he still makes yards and on the occasions he does we then see the barnstorming runs which have become a trade mark of his.

I thought Shaun Wane being a coach with forward experience he'd be able to unlock Feka's potential some more as well. We need to get Feka running deep and on some angles.

I wonder if he gets told to stand deep and run some angles and then doesn't i don't know.

De-quota'd I think.

Probably because he's no good.

I was just about to post along these lines (i was eating a sandwich though!)

People have soon forgotton but in the two years prior to this Feka was our standout Prop by some distance. Now that Coley and Fielden are (rightly) getting the plaudits, Feka has been left out in the cold.

We all know he did a massive amount of work in the off season to shed the weight and deserves some game time. When he has played this year i really think he has some good stints, but he is getting less than 10 minutes a half somtimes.

He has probably only played the equivalant of 2-3 matches this season (if you add the minutes up) so that is hardly a fair crack of the whip.

I would be gutted to see Feka lining up against us for some other SL outfit, beacause he has been a true clubman in his time here.

MM leaving him on the Bench for the leeds game was pretty poor IMO, when Tuson never got off the bench.

Saying all this though MM's start is pretty much beyond approach at the momment and we as a team are doing very well.

I just wish that the big man could play more of a part of it all.

Ps It was a really good sandwich

Thing is though, under MM+SW I really don't think you can play and perform well including training + reserves and not be getting your chances - playing well involves acheiving the targets set for you by the coach, not the fanbase. Or does anybody actually beleive one player is getting treated differently to the rest?
