I think Fielden would be a great signing, he's not as good as he was in 2006, but he's still a good prop forward and better than Craig Kopczak is and probably ever will be. Given his drop in performances and his status being lowered then I doubt it very much that Stuart would be able to command the dollars that he would have been able to say 3 or 4 years previously. If we could get him for a reasonable price then I would love him back at Odsal. People would still like to see Momoi here, I'd much prefer Fielden back. Plus he'd count on the homegrown list.

If we got him for a decent price and he could pull his head out of his booty then yeah I'd take him back at Odsal.

I'd leave well alone.

Prefer to promote one of the juniors instead.

It a gamble Bradford can afford to take?

Don't really see what he would add to us now. Looked a shadow of his former self for a long time now. He did us a big favour going to Wigan and turned out to be daylight robbery by the Bulls.

We need to be concentrating on targets for the backline and a new playmaker for 2010.

rather use money to ensure we retain lynch and persever with kopczak and james, who may not be world beaters but are decent workmanlike props and are certainly capable of spelling the three top notch props we already have. as has already been said any available cash next year must be used to strengthen the backline.

Crabtree seems a gentle giant, he offered Fielden out calling him glass jaw and Fielden produced feaces in the back of his shorts. He should have just banged him! I remember when he leathered Jason Smith off Hull, whats happened?

I have to agree. Too many upstarts are fancying a go with Fielden and he is just taking it. I think he is gone, its not just the Mason thing it was Radford almost sparking him and i remember seeing Ali lauittiti from Leeds scoring a try then patting Fielden on the head in a very demeaning way and Fielden just took it. Sometimes when you hit the bully back their world caves in.

When he had a dust up with Jason Smith of Hull & Smith went off with blood pouring from his head I thought there really is no limit for Fielden as a prop forward. Now I literally don't even realise he is on the pitch.

Bradford Shouldn't even think about buying Fielding, Regardless of the fact he's nowhere near as good as he was and that he hasn't been performing.

They have a pretty strong pack a few of which are new recruits (Menzies, Worrincy, Scruton) and they need to concentrate on securing some of the current forwards (Lynch and I believe Morrison if they can) There next immediate search then should be for backs. Specifically half backs. Thats where you need people and thats where your money should be spent. This year if you have space under the cap (which the bird approach suggests) and Tupou's contract is ripped up?
