Its good to see a thought through reply.
Rather than gets paid too much + Yorkie + Not Feka + Not a crowd pleaser = Crap

The irony BK. I do find it disrespectful that you took the name of a club legend yet behave as you do in his name.

The combined salary of Fielden and Feka is nearly between 400,000 and 500,000 per season. Ask Mick Hogan if you want confirmation.

What a strange poster you appear to be. You think Feka and Fielden are a single player.

How odd.

Does that mean if the opposition break through the tackle of one of them, the other has to step aside and allow them to run through?

Maybe they are not allowed to pass to one another, or have to take it in turns to pack down in the scrum?

I have heard seen some tripe being posted on here over the years. You have only been on 2 minutes and are already making a play for the top 10.

Yeah because I'm sure Mick Hogan would disclose that kind of information . I highly doubt if he would even know it - he works in the marketing department not payroll as far as I'm aware.

Also given Farrell was our highest earner before leaving on £166,667 per year (£1m 6 year contract) if I remember correctly, I would be very disappointed if Fielden and Feka's combined salaries were above £300k. I would like to think it was more in the £200-250k region at most.

Call it 450k then!!!

Jesus H Christ!!!!! Noble & IL are not doing a bad job getting the other 23 or so players in the other 1.15 million are they!!!!!!

So 2 x players are taking over a Qtr of the wage bill?? Whilst 23 players take under 3qtrs!!!!!!!!

No wonder theres such a bad feeling at the club!!!!!!!

Considering Bailey's on 200k a year and Gleeson is getting 150k a year along with Tommy/Richards/Riddell/Roberts!

That leaves about 100k for the other 15 players inc Phelps/Carmont/Smith before his injury/Hock before his supension/Coley/Goulding/Hansen/J Tomkins/Prescott/Pryce etc etc etc!!!!!!!!

They must be playing for Peanuts then!!!!!!

Unless that is no-one REALLY knows how much they are getting!!!!!

I wonder which one of the stories is true!

Can somebody explain to JJB what a fact is

Since Wigan played Salford in the CC QF, the starting props for Wigan have been Coley and Prescott. That is a fact Stuart Fielden was absent for the CC QF, suspended?

For the last 6 game Wigan have played Feka and Fielden have been on the reserve bench That is a fact

Fielden has started games on 3 occasions with Feka. He has started as many games with O’Carroll in preference to Feka. He has started more games with Coley, 8 Those are facts.

So we can conclude that because you can only recall the most recent games you initial premise is a misconception because it is incorrect.

That is a fact

No, but if you just ask him in the street like Wigan Observer has he'll just tell you everyone's salary!!!!!!!!!!

How Nice of him is that!!!!!!!!

In the meantime Brett Kenny will contuinue to make a prat of himself

£180,000 a season?

That's a new one on the Gleeson family, I can tell you that.

I was suprised watching the replay at his level of preformence because at the game i thought it was pathetic yet watching the replay it went up to 'decent'.

Decent isn't enough for me i'm afraid for a guy thats getting paid such a good wage. I don't see why we should just sweep that under the carpet He does deserve a place in the side( just about) at the moment but he really does, by his own standards, look a spent force and pretty much ready for hanging the boots up(if money wasn't getting in the way).

My second point stands in that i don't understand why people make so many excuses for him! It goes from burnout to the mason punch to a lack of support from the other props and now to the fact he's carrying Feka's ar*e through games.

The 'fact' is he isn't producing anywhere near his best form and we paid out nearly half a million quid and gave him a top wage to prouduce his best. We can't afford in the age of the salary cap to be carrying a top earner just because he makes an extra 5 tackles per match then he used to! We need him to hit the mark each and every week.

I look forward to next season with interest tbh. It's his last year on this huge deal and if he wants another with Wigan or anywhere else we'll have to see a huge turnaround in form from him. I get the feeling we'll see a totally different Stuart Fielden then we have for the past 3 and a half years which will tell it's own story i'm afraid.
