Fielden hasn't scored a try for thr... two years? : Fri Mar 06, 2009 4:20 pm  

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.

Anyone know of any first choice player that's gone longer than that?

I'm not surprised, he pretty much packed in as a player at the end of 2006

Are you sure that stat is correct? I'm pretty sure I remember him scoring a try for Wigan.

Well no actually. Going by Super League Stats and Wikipedia. I feel a sense of impending doom...

Hmm - nothing to disprove it here. And his last try came in a game at Bradford February 2007, as did his only other try for Wigan... ... just worked it out. Two years is still quite bad.

At least he got a try in 2007. 2008 must have seen him do the traditional naked run though!

I've still got a picture of Penny and Riley doing that in a trolley a couple of years back

I wouldn't mind if he was playing well and not scoring tries but...

Paul Jackson didn't score for four years. http://www.slstats.org/p306/Paul%20Jackson.html

did he have to do the naked run then?

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.
