Well in my opinion Stuart Fielden is no longer a good prop I honestly don't think many other sides would have him, today he was dominated every time and to make it even worse he gives away stupid penaties and knocks on a lot which again he did today. The recruitment of players and the improvement of are frontrow will improve ten fold when he leaves, I thank him for coming and helping to stear us away from relegation but the last two seasons he's been poor.

Well done to the OP never a truer statement that we need some size, power and strength in the forwards.

Webb is a must as he was available so lets try it again. I’ll state now that he won’t be the top meter maker in SL but he’ll offer something to us that we’ve not had since Faz & Pongia and that’s a true ‘hard man’ in the front row. The guy was an amateur boxing champion if I’m correct so he’s not one to mess with and it’s exactly what we need that little bit of aggression when teams are trying to intimidate us.

Then we need to replace Bailey with another 2nd row that has A-the experience Bailey has but that extra bit of class. I know some don’t like him but Tickle could have been that guy possibly for us or even maybe Pritchard, Purdham or Wild with a transfer fee mixed in?

We should want nothing to do with a rat.

Shut up what are we in prison or something?

I know the story isn't true but if it was Hock should jump at the chance if it was given to him.

Overall, has he been worth the record transfer fee?

yeah, he kept us up and saved us a lot more money than we would have lost through relegation.

Certainly not but the money paid for him was never Fielden's fault.

He is still pretty good defensively - he is just simply a liability to the side in terms of his complete lack of go-forward. He dies in the tackle like a floppy sock and its a sad sight to see.

The most dramatic decline of a player I can remember seeing.

It will be a huge relief when his contract expires.
