| Good luck to the big fella wherever he ends up (as long as it aint saints). This season when used he has played he has been poor (except Saints away). Maybe the loss of weighgt in pre season took away his edge or whatever you want to call it. He leaves us with some great memories such as taking the Saints pack on his own in the last derby at Knowsley Hole in the scrum. Smashing Graham the other season, some of his runs, the try at Hull KR last season. I would not class him as good value for money for minutes on the pitch but one thing i will remember about Feka is what a nice guy he is. When he first came to Britain me and my mate served him in a shop i used to work with. Really polite guy and always had time for the fans.

Well he has a good sidestep for a big guy he has a good offload and when used properly he can run over the top of tacklers. So he has talent plus he could not have been more passionate about Wigan if he had been born here.

| Good luck to him, he's a real nice bloke with a lovely family. Seems strange that MM has improved every single player at the club apart from one. I never dreamt that Madge's arrival would see Feca drop from view like he has.

| There was always going to be a big name casualty. Im shocked its Feka, because I thought the new regieme would be of most benefit to him.
Still, I wish him well, wherever he ends up.
His alleged massive salary and the quota can't be discounted as factors in his leaving either.

What ever has gone on with MM will come out in due course, but glad from a neutral point of view that he is staying in SL as he is always good entertainment

| like many wiganers, i'll be sad to see him leave, just as i was when the likes of craig smith and pongia had to leave.
but if you flip it on the other side, how many of our "stars" have actually done much in coming back to haunt us? i don't remember the likes of aspinwall, wild, briscoe, newton etc doing much in the way of preventing us from winning silverware since they left wigan. of course, others who have left HAVE been crucial in games against us like Long etc but still, not the end of the world.
ok maybe they've helped their new sides win us on the few occasions they have but still, its no great hardship.
like i say, gutted he's leaving and i'd love him to suddenly bounce back into form if given the chance. i doubt he has a problem with MM and vice versa. could it not simply be he has literally lost form of his own accord just as the likes of fielden etc have in the past as well? all part of the game. we can't expect MM to keep him if he has other ideas or players available for the team especially home grown talent.
good luck to him and i will happily give him a cheer when he does a barmstorming run against us without flinching.

Good luck big yin, there is no better sight in world sport than watching him bounce defenders off like rag dolls.

Enjoyed watching Feka over the years . Good luck and thanks BIG MAN .
ps. If shooting at Tuggles mind no hit Hammish. "Hi wee man" .
See you all at Hull tonight .

Got to say i dont agree either, hes a really nice guy but ultimately doesnt put the work in to contribute more than 20 mins a game
He was great when wigan were on a roll already and he comes on but apart from that he struggled to influence the game at all
Id much rather have ben davies get a pay rise and give him a go

| Feka is a unique player.
He has attacking attributes that can create opportunities and momentum like no other prop in Super League. However, to have this luxury both the player & coach acknowledge and appreciate that the size and power needed to do the above affects his fitness, which limits his defensive and game time requirements.
He's a type player who's attributes have to suit a certain squad and their coaches methods of managing a winning side. At one point Feka's playing style worked for Wigan, though under a new coach and new playing methods it is proving much less effective.
It's fustrated me when supporters get on Fekas back and in regards to his fitness and defensive flaws, but that's the player we signed and we must expect flaws as sacrifices to provide the benefitial positives.
Feka has been a firm favourite amongst supporters at the club through out his Wigan career and always been involved with marketing. He's always had time for supporters, seemed to have loved his time at Wigan & in return the club stuck by him through his brush with the law. I hope the club and Feka leave on good terms, I wish him well at his next club and hope he gets a good reception upon his return.

| Good luck to him, could be a good move. I always personally found him to be a very polite and professional person of the pitch and on the pitch some moments of sheer delight - obviously just not as mutch as MM is aiming for and that is fair enough and his view as a coach - the team has to come first.
I hope it is a return to the old Wigan management logic of sell great players when they have peaked for us and replace them even better. Never went down well losing fan favourites, but just made the team stronger in the long run.
I'm already relishing the thought of seeing the impact of him and Lima running at each other!

Seconded. I can't see him getting anything other than a great welcome if he plays at Wigan.

I understand totally where you are comming from, however in previous seasons he was a great asset to the team.
I watch RL to be entertained, and few have entertained me as much as feka over the last few years.
I will miss the way the crowd reacted when he made his first apperance of the night.
I have just been watching his highlights on youtube and they have really made me remember the good times.
I am honestly GUTTED that it has had to end this way.
Everyone is has a right to express an opinion, but at this momment i am sticking my fingers in my ears and saying "na, na, na, na!!!!!" because when it comes to the Big fella i aint listening.
My favorite player over the past few years and (to me at least) a propper legend.
I will have to dry my eyes and get back to work!!

| Sad to see him go, but fully understand why he's leaving. I hope Feka does well at Bradford as long as it's not against us.
Obviously we'll be a stronger outfit next year with him out and Lima in his place, it'll mean we can operate with a full compliment of props.
