Yeah, yeah, probably jinxed it for Saturday night but that's a remarkable run that I haven't seen commented on in the media, even for a prop.

Ive been making fun of him in my cherry&white match previews for about 12 months now. I do a hot and cold thing which highlights who is in hot scoring form and who isn't. I got so bored of Fielden being cold I gave him his own categories which have included......

"in a bath of ice"
"hiding in the butchers freezer"
"swimming in the antartic"
"Embarrassingly less prolific than Ricky Bibey"

and the ultimate insult
"looking like Wire will win the league before he scores again".

It's actually a 64 game run since he last scored for Wigan against Bradford at Odsal in February 2007. He has never scored at JJB Stadium.

Going by that and Wikipedia, he's scored five tries in 230 games, or one every 56 games or so. Can anyone beat that? Joe Vagana, for comparison, got 17 in 203 games, or one in every twelve or so.

But 8 of those came in his first 30 games.
