Prekkie will never be 'fit' enough to put a string of games together. His body seems too fragile, and he picks up knocks almost every game. Some players can take a battering and recover quickly. Sadly, Prekkie is not one of them.

Might be to do with his playing style.

He certainly doesn't 'hold back' when running up with the ball does he ?

Wane says in his interview fielden and richards ready for 20's next week gil dudson in 2 weeks

Wanes interview he says Pat and Feilden are in full training and 1 week off , tommy 3 to 4 week and gill dudson 2 weeks off and he's back running ?? I thought he was out for the season ? Obv not !

Great news if it is all accurate!

Thats wierd, wane said last week fielden wont play again this year then this week he says he is 1 week away. I wonder if that was a kick up the for fielden to give him some reverse psychology motivation.

I certainly would welcome a fully fit fielden.

Our front row options are massive: Any 4 from:

Preccy
Mossop
Lima
Lauaki
Flower
Dudson
Crosby
Fielden

I'd love to see Dudson back for the play offs. As much as I've been impressed with Ben Flowers energy and Dom Crosbys attitude I really liked the looks of Dudson in his first team spell. He's a huge lad with good aggression and his fitness levels really improved during his run in the side.

He'd need a couple of games to get in shape but he could be very handy come the play offs.

unfortunately, IF everyone is fit Lima, Mossop and Eric will probably fill 3 of the spots, with Prescott, Fielden and Dudson battling for a single spot.

That'll do for me.

One day it would be great to have everyone fit. I honestly can't remember the last time we were even close.

The only problem is that we only have two U20's league fixtures left before their play offs start. I don't think Pat or Fielden will be allowed to play in those play off games as they will not have played enough qualifying games (I may be wrong though but I think they brought a rule in to say that you had to play so may U20 games to play in the finals series)

I think the only restriction is the limitation on over-age players (which currently standing at 5 could make a mockery of the games). Last season Warrington played Micky Higham in the finals series after recovery from injury to give him game time in case of injuries at first team level meaning he was required for their play-offs games (when Warrington were eliminated from the Super League play-offs the night before the u20s final Higham was withdrawn from the u20s to allow the lads who had played u20s all season to compete in the final).

Cheers.
I thought it got changed when Saints included Fassavalou (sp) in a Final v Wigan(in 2009 or 2010)
