I just think thats its always sad when a top player comes, or is coming to the end of his career, especially when its injury, rather than just age. For age i would point to Wellens. Stuart has always been a wholehearted player, and repected. Would be great to see another season from him, be it with us, or elsewhere.

I think he's been one of the best 3 British props in years along with Morley and Peacock and even at 80% of his best form he'd still be a very valuable member of our squad. Perhaps injury wise, he's paid the price for being an 80 minute prop for so long? I'd back him for another year!

If Stu can remain fit for the rest of the season whether that be playing u20s or for first grade id like to see him offered a new contract, 12 months with the club having a second option of a 2nd year. We are losing alot of experienced head next season and we need someone who has been that and done it in the front row. Of course it would have to be on the right contract and not the wages he currently demands.

Fielden and Tommy both expected back v HKR.

After listening to Fielden last night on Wish FM, there is a career for him presenting. Anything's got to be better than Robbie Hunter Mariner Paul or the 2 old gits off boots n all.

Looks like he won't be playing against HKRhttps://www.wigantoday.net/sport/wigan-warriors/time-running-out-for-fielden-1-4872228rl

Hmm not sure I agree with the analysis of Wane here.

If we beat Hull KR and finish top, then I would have thought St Helens would have been a good opportunity to play Fielden.

It's a no-lose situation, if he falls on his face, then there is no harm done. If he comes through well, then we have at the least cover for one of the props come the playoffs.

I cannot see the logic of going flat out for the remaining 2 games.

Wane will want to beat Saints regardless of how we do against Hull KR. He hates them

Yeah its a shame such a great servant to the game has struggled so much recently but if he can regain fitness and form surely be worth a new deal that represents the risk gamble on him wigan would be taking.

Fielden's done at Wigan. Get shot of him and a couple of others in the close season and we can get a big name in the pack to help toughen us up against the likes of Warrington...
