Feka needs to play more time, but he is an impact prop and he does his job in getting the team rolling forward.

As for Fielden, he is going to have to play really well if he is going to get a new contract next season.

Was talking to Feka after the game last night and he told us that he is disappointed that he is not getting more game time, he also said that he was going to talk to Noble about it

It's the modern game.

Manly took their prop off after 15 minutes tonight and Leeds did is shortly after.

Why is it that only Wigan fans complain?

Your getting suckered into it by outside influences.

Here's a fact, Feka plays more minutes than Maurie Fa'asavalu but he doesn't get half the criticism that Feka gets, despite Fekas stats being far better.

The same applies to Feka v Kyle Leuluai

I'm not criticising him Brian, I am a great fan of what he does when he is on the pitch.

I think everyone is just for some people its how long hes actually on the pitch

Feka is our main go forward and gives all the players a huge boost when he is on the pitch and as someone has mentioned Mary plays less time than him and gets less criticism so I think its unfair on Feka tbh

We could definitely do with him on the pitch for longer though

But there are a lot who are and continue to do so.
They read things on the web sites and jump onto the he only plays 10 minute band wagon.

If the team selection is right and he only plays for 5 minutes and does the damage I honestly don't care (I know that's a stupid statement as it would never happen)

IMO it's always about the TEAM.

That was the reason I pointed out that LOTS of props only play in short bursts.

Do you think that the Manly prop will get the criticism tonight.

How many honestly even noticed it?

If it was Feka it would have been he's not fit, and overweight.

Rant over.

See you Saturday.

I'm not gettin on his back but I do think that 10 mins each half is diabolical. If Riddell is the same then u gotta use 4 subs every game just 4 these 2 which is not good IMO

When did he do only 10 mins per half?

Riddell did around 30 mins yesterday before being subbed., and then came back on for the last 20.

You're falling into the internet trap.

where does this '10mins each half' statistic come from?

the 10 mins each half is comin from watchin him - e goosed after 10 mins

Now how am I going to tell you this.


That's absoute cr@p

I would humbly suggest that you get yourself to your close friends at Knowsley Road and watch 10 minute Maureen.

born n bred wigan me pal - season ticket to boot - if u think feka is doin the side any good with his 10 min spells it's you who shud be goin knowsley road. We wastin 4 subs every game takin him n riddell off - not tactical subs they just cant do any more ffs - professional athletes you are avin a laugh

Sorry but can't agree with you about feka he is doing more than you claim, But my point is he could do more if they wanted him to . The Substitutions are made by coaching staff decisions barring injury of course , although sometimes i do wonder about some of the timing used . 5 min before half time always confuses me .

Agreed, he style of running is great, its helped with the fact he has a low centre of gravity and can be difficult to stop, just wish he was slightly bigger!



Mr Brain Fart, he gave away some stupid penlaties on Saturday and again looked non effective going forward. Still better than Coley.
