Peacock and Fielden are different types of animal to James Graham, Graham is a more modern day ball handling prop and Peacock and Fielden are more let's get stuck in and bash the other forwards around or run into brick walls type players hence more suited to the NRL...

I wouldn't say Fielden's really bashed anyone around since he joined Wigan. He's gone steadily downhill.

When he was at Bradford he was the best Prop Forward in Super League and any team would have wanted Stuart Fielden playing for them, you could also say he was one of the best Prop Forwards in the World at the time aswell...

Similar to James Graham right now ?

Yet one could do really well in the NRL and one could go okay ?

Hmmmm, the difference ? One plays for St Helens.

No Stuart Fielden and James Graham are completely different types of Prop Forward as i posted earlier, and no i wouldn't say similar to what James Graham is now///
Why does one playing for St Helens make the difference?, I have already mentioned i consider Matt Gidley the best Centre in Super League and i rate Jon Wilkin highly also Fielden was playing for Bradford Bulls you know the main local rivals of Leeds Rhinos...

I agree, one is exceptional at his job making more metres on a consistent basis than anybody else. One is as fragile as a feather and generally does nothing except embarrass himself everytime he takes the field.

Even Fielden at his pomp, I'd like to see the stats comparison to see how they compare. My guess would be that Graham would still be ahead but without the nonsense fist cocking everytime hit hard.

http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 I think thats how to post a link? They do seem to be different type of prop. Graham makes alot more meters and carries from less games. Fielden makes a massive amount of tackle busts and clean breaks, but his error count/missed tackles is quite big as well. I'd still pick Jammer

There we have it.

Stuart Fielden at his very best made less metres, less carries, less tackles, more errors and more missed tackles.

Yet this guy could go really well in the NRL yet Graham not as good ?

Okkkkaaayyyyy........
