Think Watts was 16 when we got him from cas (may have just been 17).

On Fielden, good player on his day just seems very prone to making a howler. Think he'll be still want paying more than his worth due to his past reputation. Maybe a fresh start at Hull is what he needs to reignite his career which seems to have been on a downward spiral since signing for the pies.

If we do sign him I think we'll have the following playesr over 30:

fitz - 33
long - 34
radford - 31
manu - 30
dowes - 30
berrigan - 32
fielden - 32?

So the bulk of the pack will be at the wrong end of their career, not great for summer rugby

It's frightening when you look at it Jake.

I don't know the details but by offering watts radfords wage and lms cusacks we surely would have put bigger offers on the table.

IMO s risk but a calculated one

Wasn't Watts at Hull FC before he went to Cas and then onto Rovers? Maybe wrong but sure somebody told me that the other week?

As good a player as Fielden once was he is now a shadow of that and for me would be a poor signing. We need to be signing more players who are reaching their prime or in it not well past it. Would be disappointed by his signing if i'm honest, cant see him being that cheap either.

Too old imo not good enough and never forgiven him for knocking ten bells out of Jason Smith a few years back

I don't think so mate, a mix up with westerman maybe?

If he were cheap he'd be staying at wigan

Any truth in the rumour that next season agar will be known as captain mainwaring?

What would Fielden be coming to Hull to prove/achieve?

He might want to expand his franchises

what do you mean, I assume you mean outside business interests or something?

I read on the Wigan forum he owns a few subways.
