They have been extremely comparable and complimentary this season, and tbh i'd keep both of them on the right deals for next season.

I think this will be the key, but I suspect the power will be in our corner when it comes to negotiations.



Stu knows he'll get nothing like the deal he got from Maurice anywhere in the competition now and, given that he seems to be a guy who likes to be settled, it may be the easiest thing for him to take the inevitable pay-cut and stay with us.

31 for a prop is nothing..easily 2-3 years left in Coley



so get him signed up i say.



as for Stu we all know its his wage thats the problem..stu himself knows he wont make that again anywhere..so no reason why he wont sign a new deal with us.

i cant agree with you on this. coley is having a massive season, better than hes ever played throughout his career but is he over performing. can a player continue to over perform year in year out.



when fielden is off the field it is noticable just through his sheer defensive workrate. we are a much more vunerable team when he is on the bench. Coley is a solid prop, and i really rate him this year but to say coley beats him in every department is rubbish. for me they have both earned a new deal but Fielden is the backbone of our pack and we are a much weaker side without him, more so than coley.

When Fielden was at his best he had Joe Vagana, Brian McDermott & Paul Anderson alongside. All 6'5" and around 17-18st. They also had Richard Moore & Rob Parker as back up.

If Wigan had three other props 6'5" and 17st I'm sure Fielden would have played a whole lot better. Wigan hadn't and he didn't!

We have four props Fielden, Feka, Prescott & O'Carroll. If MM wants to bring in an overseas prop bearing in mind salary and quota/kolpac restrictions who is most vulnerable? Not Fielden me thinks!

I do think Fielden & Coley will stay as well as Prescott. O'Carroll is OOC 2011.

Pity but if MM wants players more suited to his style then someone will make way.

I dont understand why anybody is talking about letting Fielden or Coley leave. We are playing the best we have done for ages and these two have played almost every game. It makes no sense whatsoever

A saints fan wrote that on here somewhere but I think it got cleared up that he was confusing him with burgess.

Because there's a chance we can improve? Not hard to understand is it?

Coley had a very good season last year as well, many on here putting it down to playing for a new contract, now proved to be an unfair comment. If he is "overperforming" as you put it he seems to be able to do it for at least one and a half seasons!



I don't imagine he'll stop overperforming for a while yet.

whats with the tone of your relpy?? At the moment we will find it hard to improve on Fielden and Coley as both performing well. If its not broken dont try and fix it. Areas of improvement might be around Feka's role as Im afraid he is a bit too much of a luxury in the pack currently.

good comment - funny how we dont mention Fielden playing well for a new contract this year when Coley was slated over this last year. I personally dont care what motivates the players to perform as long as they are performing. Long may it continue and untill it stops I dont think we should be in a rush to off load either player.
