That may explain his absence.

O'Barrol for next week if Feka's not fit me thinks.

Is it me or as feka lost his impact since he lost all this weight?

He seems much easier to tackle this year and making less yards.

I might be wrong, but seen him twice this year and he don't look to have the power he used to.

feka takes plenty stick for his weight but solomona looked bigger tonight!!!!!!!

impressed with phil bailey tonight aswell when he was on, didnt really look like he had been away.

Been told Mossop may have been carrying a rib injury which could be why his game time was limited.

To be honest i was not, although i will say he added some experience when we needed it. He did seem very sluggish (which is to be expected) and gave away a couple of very silly penalties at bad times for us. He was testing the ref but in my opinion he did it at a bad time in areas of the field where he should not on a couple of occasions.

I would have hoped for a little more leadership from him at the end, but to be fair he has been out for a while and he deserves a break so I may be being a little harsh.

I appreciate Tomkins and Mossop have been grabbing the headlines but for me Hansen has been outstanding thus far, and has filled the potential void that will be left by Bailey next year, in fact I think Bailey will have to do something pretty special to get his shirt back from Hansen.

Ive been quietly concerned about Feka given his perofmrnaces so far this season and its not so much his lack of impact bursting through tackles that concerns me but his game time despite the obvious weight loss.

His defence is the main area of improvement for me, so far this season he has made tackles that he could not physically of made last season and in attack his ability to off-load the ball seems to have improved too, but as expected he does seem to have lost something going forward with those big driving runs.

Andy Coley and Stuart Feilden have been outstanding so far this season, i thought Fielden had one of his best games in a Wigan shirt against Warrington last night and in compasrison to those efforts Feka has a lot of improvement in him if he is to remain a Wigan player beyond 2010.

I don't think Feka was injured tbh. I just think Maguire wanted to keep Fielden and Coley on as long as possible because they were head and shoulders our best props.

Feka has lost this weight and found some extra mobility. He's defending better without question but so far hasn't done much with the ball. I think that'll improve as the pitches firm up. I'd also like to see us run him a little wider because he'll cause some damage out there and get a few offloads away to the faster men.

I agree but I would like to see him used as sub because our back three at the moment are magnificent.

Watch it again mate, when we were coming back into the game, he was visably leading the team in the centre circle, telling everyone to calm down and focus.

The leadership was there from him.

That being said, he was rusty, which is understandable after such a bad injury.

He looked like a guy who had been out for a long spell, a bit rusty and the pace the game was played at looked like it took his toll. Will be a good asset for the young second rowers but he will remain a sub for me.

There's always a welcoming commitee when he has the ball these days. I'm pretty sure that if he get's someone one-on-one he'll stomp all over them like he always has done. Feka's invaluable as a dummy runner because he attracts so much attention

Last night wasn’t Feka’s fault.

Madge brought him on after Wire scored meaning he was straight into defence and pretty much for the rest of the time he was on the pitch Wire had us under the cosh. Feka, as Barrie Mc, pointed out was getting through a boat load of work in defence and was always looking for the ball in attack.

The problem with Feka’s go forward yesterday was that he only had two drives as all the other times he was either utilised as a dummy runner or the ball went the opposite way. Some of the blame has to drop onto Tommy’s shoulders for picking the wrong option from DH.

I’ve not seen anything which has me over worried about how Feka will go this season.

Guess we’ve gotta find fault somewhere tho haven’t we? We wouldn’t be Wigan fans otherwise.
