Obviously I'm talking in comparison to other rugby league prop forwards, I'm sure that Richie Mathers is a better tackler than anyone who posts on here but it doesn't stop us commenting when he messes up. By your logic I assume you have never criticised a pro rugby league player?

Read my post today. you will see i have criticised everything about the team today..one thing i will never criticise is a player toughness.


Fielden is one of the toughest player SL as seen..i dont mean with his fist..hes been a target for every forward for almost 10 year. And hes give as good as he got

to call fielden a soft lad is idiotic

Oh come on, there must be a lot of idiots about then. Fielden of old was a very very tough player, but since losing his mother, getting floored my Mason's cheap shot, then getting battered by Lee Radford in a charity boxing match he's lost that. We need to get rid for the good of the club, and I don't think he'd be going to Saints or Leeds either.

The thing that worries me about Fielden is that he's on a great wage and not doing a lot to justify it. We simply can't afford to have him on the wagelist, taking up a large portion of the salary and playing at his current level.

Fielden and Coley out

Luke Bailey and Andy Lynch in

I agree things need to change in particular with Fielden for the last 3 games, Coley has played better than him (leeds, salford and huddersfield) . Fielden is supposed to be the enforcer aggresive prop. Coley is definately not that but to be fair to him he is a better ball playing prop and his defense is good at the moment.

Up until Friday I liked Fielden as a player and thought he could do a job for us but now I think he should go. He simply isn't cutting the mustard. For the money he's on he should be leading our pack and whilst making solid yards and solid in defence but he just isn't the same anymore

Coley frustrates the hell out of me. Imagine O'Carroll with Coley's build but yet Coley runs sideways (to call it running is pushing it) his defence is ok but he still gives too many penalties and misses too many tackles. His error count is also too high

For the total money them 2 are on we could get 2 world class props

To be honest I think our second rowers barring Hock were as much to blame as the props. They offer naff all going forward.

We need 2 good props, that will sort us

We would then have 2 props Feka and Hock offering quality go forward

The likes of Joel, Lockers and Prescott would take advantage of this and would make some decent yards

stu was s h i tt ing him self when crabtree said something to him every one could see it even if he is s h i tt ing it he should not show it .stu has lost the fear effect he use to have when him and barry use to knock hell out of each other the stu we are watching now is a mear shadow of his former self and no one fears him anymore so his confidence has gone his game suffers and he is owned all night and com-paired to how he use to be at bradford he is a lot softer than the player he use to be
