which was exactly my point he isnt worth the money we pay him

All in all, i dont think Wigan wil renew his contract, im sure we have him until the end of 2010 though. Signed a 4 year deal IIRC.

I don't think that Fielden's heart has ever been at Wigan. When his contract ends, he will return to Bradford, or possibly Leeds, and look to regain his form and passion.

not wigan quality

My physio is his physio too, Fielden is pure muscle according to him.

too many jokes

Yeah we can say that now but when we signed him not many people thought he wasn't worth that wage. It's hardly his fault Uncle Mo threw money at him. Having said that sometimes I think he isn't earning his wage but most I think he does, IMO he can be the most hard-working player for Wigan - although that statement is laughable if you take into account the stats from Leeds.

I want Fielden to stay, I just think he needs more help in the front row. Feka doesn't do long enough for me - granted he works hard when he's on and he makes some terrific runs and yards but IMO he needs to work harder on his match fitness. We need a new prop.

sadly, imo opinion, fielden will go down as a wigan flop

Got through aload of tackles but was woeful in attack, not good!

He is. Seeing him with no top on (no jokes please) he looks like a body builder, he's got a great physique with plenty of lean muscle. However it's hardly the perfect build for a prop forward is it. Realistically before next season he could put a stone on and whilst he might not look as good on the beach at least he might not get smashed in half his carries.

I agree but I get the impression that Fielden is intent on keeping his huge muscular frame, Noble told him to 'go and get fat' at end of last season, he never did.

Credit to Fielden, he's keeping his build because he wants to be the best athlete he can be, sometimes it work's against him. What people don't realise is that Fielden puts his all in, it comes off sometimes, others it doesn't but no-one could fault him on his effort and desire.
