MM says he wants the players to 'bulk up' maybe fielden will be one bitcon is targeting to gain some size?

Although he was around the same size at bradford, so i dont know if this is the issue, or if gaining weight will make him a better player

Will be interesting though to see what the coaching setup thinks

Agreed, people need to realise the last sentence particularly. They also need to realise that with the current interchange system, that the pack has to be looked at as a unit of 4 players and that it's not a simple case of just throwing in any 'name' when looking at making changes to it.

For example, Luke Bailey and Fui Fui Moi Moi - both good player, but very different when it comes to the role they perform and their particular talents. Having a 'vacancy' you need to have an idea of the job you want fulfilled, as it would influence which of those two you went for (just as an example).

Graham wouldn't "take his place", he'd be far far better.

There are several young front rowers who could take his place - he's no more than a Luke Burgess now.

And if they had £200k to throw at a salary, they would certainly find one . . .

I would love to see one of these at Wigan.

And that's fine, but they're not the same type of player. So if you vacancy fits one, it doesn't quite fit the other.

Quite true, I am not sure having Moi Moi and Feka would work unless one upped their game time.

Oh he is

Moi Moi plays for 60 mins a game at Parra. He is a far fitter player then the one we were first linked with 18months back and could easily handle a role in the side 'alongside' Feka(who will hopefully be fitter himself).

If Fielden has a solid-ish season and would be prepared to take a huge wage drop on a years deal i'd be tempted to keep him ahead of Coley and try to bring in Moi Moi.

To have 2 workhorses in Fielden and Prescott and 2 explosive wrecking balls in Feka and Moi Moi would be awesome imo.

He's still a quality workhorse prop if your paying him the right money.

We're obviously not but if we could get him to sign a much reduced deal he'd possibly be worth having around the place.

Absolutely agree.

And i think you're bang on the money with that statement. Coley and Fielden are off contract at the end of the season, and they are the props who do the most amount of defensive work by a significant margin. If we want to get rid of both, and sign Moi Moi then the other prop will need to be significantly defensive and Prescott would have to step up his defensive workload by a lot to compensate to.

I really couldn't see anybody working Feka and Moi Moi in the same side unless they had 2 other hugely defensive props, which nobody seems to have.
