And from recent stories I've heard regarding his attitude he certainly doesn't fit the Wigan way and the culture the club are trying to breed

They must differ from what most people have heard, in that he is a model pro, a great influence on younger players and desperate to get fit.

If he can return before the years end, id offer him a new deal, on reduced terms.

Maybe so when he's not had quite a few drinks. True colours come out then

To be honest, and from what I've seen round town, a few of our players have 'attitude' after a few drinks, certain superstars included.

Probably, within the boundary walls of Wigan, they are superstars, its no surprise if they do after a few drinks. The difference is, they are performing on the pitch these days, and any nights out seem to be controlled from the top much better than they used to be.

Totally agree, was making the point to the comment about Fielden showing true colours after a few scoops, bit unfair to only point the finger at him in that regard. FWIW they can be as bigger sh*thouses as they like around town as long as they're performing on the field.
