Quote: jjb10 "Yeah I know why he played so little last night, is because the lad is poor. It has been my opinion for a season or two now. As for Mossop we missed his hard running, size and enthusiasum. I know we are building for the future, but for me end of the year Feka I feel we should let Feka go, unless he is prepaired to put the work in like Stuart & Andy.'"
I don't agree that he's poor tbh but I can see he has areas he really needs to brush up on. I thought last night was just about the best he's played this year but he again didn't get many minutes and it's going to be a struggle to get the lads fitness up without giving him a run in the side.
I can't can't help but look at props like Fielden, Coley, O'Carroll ect and see that their game comes naturally to them. They run the ball in, they get up and play the ball, they tackle all on instinct and their fitness lets them do that whereas Feka's game looks a little forced at the moment. He looks like he's really having to push himself back into the defensive line, out of marker in defence and into position to take the ball in because he looks unsure of whats expected of him. To me whats being asked of him as that he plays as a 'proper' prop forward who gets through stacks of work but he still doesn't look to be in the right condition to do that.
I hope he can get there but I fully agree that he's struggling for a new deal as it stands.
