I think he can do a job. We're lacking size and power, both of which he has. In big games last year our forwards got owned by bigger more aggressive packs.

Fielden didn't see eye-to-eye with Wane. They fell out and he wasn't offered a new deal. Not much else to it.

If that is true then Wane needs to learn how not to fall out with players i.e. get them to do what he wants without getting senior and respected players backs up. Man management I think it is called.

Huddersfield have got a very good player who's fighting fit & rare'ing to go.

I think so to. While Fielden isn't a Pongia type player which as Jonh said is what we really need he is closer to it than Wood so if we let Fielden go and sign Wood that has got to be poor business by the club.

Can't see us signing Wood.
I think it's people putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.
He seems to have had some sort of fall out with Wire, we're short on forwards and he's a Wigan lad.
Doesn't mean he'll be a Wigan player.

I wonder what he was doing coming out of the DW yesterday at 3pm, getting into his sponsored 62 plaste Nissan Mokka?

Deal to be done friday. According to family member.

I'd rather sign a back row then a front rower tbh but another body to add depth to the squad is fine by me. There is certainly going to be some competition in that front row going forward.

Hopefully that will drive some really agressive performances by the guys in possession of the starting shirts.

At a push Eric and Flower could drop back to SR.
