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

They have offered him a 12 month deal IIRC.

Correct !!
but they have certainly not kicked him out !!

I agree with what you say.
I think he would be a great signing for us.
Remember reading Michael Mcguire's comment's about him.Praising his outstanding work ethic,attitude and professionalism.

The lad is a quality player and in contention again for a trip down under at the end of this season , the current Wigan sucess is partly built on SF and AC and their prescence so even in another year he would STIL be a great buy for anyone!!
He may not be the player he was at Bradford but he is also a lot older with a lot more rugby under his belt, he rarely makes mistakes and is still brave as a bull so in my opinion a darned good prop !!

Don't worry Matty, the person you were aiming the sarcasm at did at least get your point. I still stand my ground that King would have given us more than Cussack. Just my opinion mate.

12 months on reduced terms, if we're offering him 2 years on half decent money then it's a risk, but agreed, no more of a risk than keeping the people we've already got.

Are there no forwards coming through the youth setup?

Did you not see the Wigan/Warrington game? He got smashed and didn't recover, making plenty of mistakes.
That's my main worry with him, if he gets targeted he looks like he starts to panic.

No.

I don't think we have anything to worry about, can you really see him signing? I don't think we'll be seeing him at FC anytime soon.

Not a huge fan of Fielden but if it did happen I've got a funny feeling he would be a massive hit. I remember when he almost single handedly destroyed West Tigers, he might just have a final fling to his career.

Had a good game tonight.

"I'm loving it here at Wigan. It's a great place to be" - Stuart Fielden, 30/07/10

Hardly the comments of a player intending to part ways.

Did you expect him to say anything else?

Maybe he should of told them how he's been auctioning himself off at various clubs over the last month, and if nothing turns up he'll just re-sign at Wigan.
