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.

Yeah, Paul King has done all of that

That doesn't suit peoples arguments.

Props generally have their best years between 28-32, Fielden is the exception to the rule, although who is better that's available?

LMS would certainly be my preferred choice, but he's changed his mind more than a woman and now looks certain for Saints.

I think fielden would be an OK signing at the right price, trouble is I reckon he's likely to be fairly costly. I'd rather we moved lauaki up to prop and used the money to strengthen the backs. If our close season signings are murphy, fielden and a back up half as has been suggested, then I still don't think we have enough depth in the backs

I'm sure were after backs as well.

We may even sign two or three

He's been seen out and about at a few SL clubs and is probably going to auction himself off to the highest bidder, so yeah, i agree it would be an inflated price.


If LMS is a no go, i agree 100%. Lauaki has always been a prop IMO, his good hands could be a real asset in the front row.

well, they certainly aren't going to shift season passes!

I spoke to a moderator off this forum last week, and he said that Hull had spoken to Fielden but were not to sure about his mental state.What that means i'm not sure.
I think he's way past his best and gets man handled to easily these days when playing the likes of Saints, Leeds, Warrington ect who target it him.

Stop agreeing with me, it makes me uneasy

has have many before him and many will after him aswell...

Actually Wigan have offered him a very nice deal Standee so that means in fact the coaching staff of Wigan see him as a very good player, however they are also looking at heafty wage increases based upon their incoming signings hence they have allowed a number of on and off contract players to have a look outside if they so wish ...


Hey but thanks for mentioning me especially again
