O'Carroll was a league apart from the other props, Coley was again abysmal while I thought Fielden was poor and Feka wasn't good by his own standards.

Coley needs taking out the team for Prescott.

As for those that disagreed we needed another prop before the season, gone quiet now havent they.

Prescott was perhaps our best prop before his injury and really looked like he was going to fulfill his potential.

to be honest im still a big feka fan an he s a game breaker id pick him over coley who only gains 3 yards an fielden any day , yes he was nt that good other day but he could be m.o.m this week so you never no really fingers crossed but playing him for 10 mins last week s never any good , mind you at the minute he s lasting longer than piggy

It's the modern game.

Manly took their prop off after 15 minutes tonight and Leeds did is shortly after.

Why is it that only Wigan fans complain?

Your getting suckered into it by outside influences.

Here's a fact, Feka plays more minutes than Maurie Fa'asavalu but he doesn't get half the criticism that Feka gets, despite Fekas stats being far better.

The same applies to Feka v Kyle Leuluai

Fielden is averaging 3 metres per carry. Shocking statistic if true.

Fielden for half of 08 and 09 is probably playing marginally better than the shocking form he produced in 07 but I just don't understand what's happened to him when he takes the ball forward. He used to be unstoppable, shrugging tacklers off left, right and centre with good leg drive to go with it. Now he simply falls in the tackle like a floppy sock.

Dont forget about his wages either, we could get two quality props for the money he is on.

O'Carroll who everybody is applauding (and quite rightly) is averaging less. http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?season=2009&stat=metres&hs1=2009&hp1=29&hs2=2009&hp2=2304 Who's next for the so called Wigan fans to have a go at.
