Wigan have offered Stu a one year deal with an option for 2012 in the clubs favour. Same contract as Coley and Carmont were given last year . Stu wants 2 years and more money apparantly. You cant blame a player for wanting more time/money however no one is irreplaceable.

hes had a crackin season , IMO if were going to offload a prop it should be ocarroll ,

Prescott for me.

and me

Prescott will be on a fraction of Fielden's wage

"He'll come back to haunt us....................."

I really hope this isn't true to be honest. We've thrown huge amounts of money at Fielden in what was described at the time as a life changing contract. Would anybody say we've had our moneys worth for the FULL four years, I wouldn't. If he wants to stay, it should be on our terms this time. Like I said earlier in the thread I really think we should be keeping him, but it has to be on our terms.

Hope he stays. He has worked for 4 years in a strugling pack. We finally get a good pack and he decides to leave.

i hope not, for the sake of all us female supporters. he's one of the only ones that wouldn't frick'n an 'orse.

Surely all this is about negotiations?

Wigan have offered Stu Fielden a deal with the terms written in it.
He has asked for more than he's been offered.
His agent has offered his services around to see if there are clubs who will better Wigan's deal.
The agent has received offers which may well offer him say slightly more money but with a confirmed 2 years rather than a 1 + 1 which it is rumoured Wigan have offered. As yet we are not aware SF has re-signed with us or signed with another club. Negotiations are continuing we would deduce.
Fielden is an intelligent man who has put a lot of work in at Wigan. MM reckons him as one of the most professional players he's come across.
So what does he do?
He knows Wigan are on the verge of something big and long lasting with MM as coach and IL chairman.

Hull have reputedly offered him a good deal. Where would you rather be though?
At Wigan with what's happening here under IL & MM's leadership or at Hull with Kath Hetherington and Agar as coach.
Hull are a great club with superb support and facilities but it's run by Rugby League's version of Mork and Mindy! They are going nowhere, whereas Wigan are going places and Stuart Fielden will know the difference.
All he is trying to do is negotiate the best deal he can get for as long a term as he can get. Can't blame him for that.
My bet is on him staying!

Will remember that one mate!

Not very often I LOL at a post, but that was one.

I have to admit, its true and even as a Hull fan it could'nt be put better

If we were offered the chance to continue working with our current employers, but they were going to reduce our money, how happy would we be? I don't know anyone who would look for a new job and take one for less money, meaning the mortgage doesn't get paid or we can't buy the missus a new car. Financially he needs to try and get the best deal he can. But is silverware more important to him?
