Watch what Fielden does. He attracts at least 4-5 defenders every time he runs a ball in. When Riddell is fatter and quicker we will punish teams.

What good it is it that Fielden attracts 4 and 5 players (so you say) if he then can't offload the ball? They put him down without much difficultly then play on.

Sam Tomkins support play but Riddell's to shame. He must be carrying a knock, how can a man have a pre-season and 4 games in and train every week and still be unfit?

Sam's support play put many of our players to shame; hopefully BN will see the light and not snuff him out back in the Reserves.

Feka needs to play more time, but he is an impact prop and he does his job in getting the team rolling forward.

As for Fielden, he is going to have to play really well if he is going to get a new contract next season.

Was talking to Feka after the game last night and he told us that he is disappointed that he is not getting more game time, he also said that he was going to talk to Noble about it

Manly took their prop off after 15 minutes tonight and Leeds did is shortly after. Why is it that only Wigan fans complain? Your getting suckered into it by outside influences. Here's a fact, Feka plays more minutes than Maurie Fa'asavalu but he doesn't get half the criticism that Feka gets, despite Fekas stats being far better. The same applies to Feka v Kyle Leuluai http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?season=2008&stat=metres&hs1=2008&hp1=1135&hs2=2008&hp2=1950

I'm not criticising him Brian, I am a great fan of what he does when he is on the pitch.

I think everyone is just for some people its how long hes actually on the pitch

Feka is our main go forward and gives all the players a huge boost when he is on the pitch and as someone has mentioned Mary plays less time than him and gets less criticism so I think its unfair on Feka tbh

We could definitely do with him on the pitch for longer though
