Hmmm indeed, as proved by King playing in 4 NRL grand finals, winning the WCC and being part of a premiership-winning team...

just comparing a few stats on the super league website, Fielden has made more tackle busts than Cusack, Radford, and tickle added together..

havent you read , hes crap and a glass jaw according to some!!

I checked them out and was suprised how good they are. I still remain against the signing as he's over 30 and already offered his best years to another club.

he's 30 not 40 still got plenty left in him yet.

I'd be delighted if we got him.
we can't always bring in youth players we need to have some player with experience and he's certainly has that.

We have already established that you stick an average player in a good side who are at the top of thier game (both of which Wigan are) they will look a lot better. Stick Hall in the Wigan team and his defence would not be shown up as badly as it is with us and he would score a lot more tries to boot.

Would that then make Hall a very good player?
Fielden will make a decent SQUAD player along the same lines that Radford and Dowes make decent SQUAD players.

Agreed, it's also interesing that the FANS of Wigan rate him, but it appears the coaching set up are prepared to let him leave.

So, in one breath EXPRO says the FANS of FC are wrong for not rating Agar (we should trust the coach), and in the next he says the COACH of Wigan has it wrong.

Haven't Wigan offered him a deal?

How is that letting him leave?

Does anyone actually know anything about Fielden signing? I've now got 3 Fielden avatars (in varying states of undress) that I've used in response to the rumours over the seasons and it seems no more likely now that he will sign for FC than in the last couple of years. I think we should be told.

Fuifui Moimoi, Jamie Peacock and now Fieldon. I think sometimes we comment and discuss rumour so much we almost forget there is no credibility to the rumour and convince ourselves it's happening. I chose the Moimoi and Peacock examples as I recall these rumours being discussed that much they were just about accepted as happening.

Kimmorley was on the plane here. Still cross about that.
