I personally do not think it is enough and i think most highlight it due to it being the only acceptable part of his game anymore. Lets not pretend he does anything amasing in defence. He works hard, thats it.

It think, Jon, this goes back to the thread where there was a call for an enforcer prop, a hard-working prop, an impact prop and a younger lad coming through. I think Fielden will successfully fill a hard-working prop role if on the right salary; especially if he's got an enforcer prop that can help him take it up. He's certainly not the enforcer he was at Bratfut.

IF Wigan did not offer him a contract extension, where could you seriously see him heading? Im not sure Bradford would want him back.

Agreed with that

However if we could bring in a better option for the right deal we should go with that

But if not reduce Fielden's contract and he could easily be our hardworking prop

LMS is off contract the same time as Fielden and he would fit the hard working prop much better in my opinion at a fraction of the cost.

IF we could sign LMS I'd be more than happy, granted. I rather suspect London won't give him up without a fight though. LMS AND Fielden would spell the end of Coley and leave good competition for the final spot between Eo'C and PP but short of the enforcer prop.

Get Mason in to replace Coley
LMS to replace Fielden the season after that
Sign Prescott and O'Carroll to nice long deals
Promote one of the good youngsters to fill the role Prescott and O'Carroll do now

Mason
LMS
Prescott
O'Carrol

Perfect Shame it won't happen

In a word, yes.
