Yeah, I forgot about the limit on over age players, sorrycpwigan wrote:I think part of the problem is that you are only allowed 3 Over 20's in an Academy match IIRC We have several players needing matches etc Too many?
I may be clutching at straws though lol
I too, am looking forward to Freddy coming back. Just don't want Stuart to get another injury so soon by rushing back29wes28 wrote:I think CP is right regarding age limit but Josie also I mean no disrespect to Wakefield here but isnt playing Wakefield this year like playing and U20's?? I think if it was a different opposition he wouldnt be included.
Also as said with the Wire around the corner Madge needs to give every available prop a run because 1 thing is for certain that game needs our 2 best fittest props starting and the next best 2 on the bench 1 2nd rower 1 hooker!
Also if I am being honest I am far more looking forward to OCarroll coming back than Stuey or Cross playing!
Not going to happen but I would like us to use Tommy at 9 for 80 mins and have 2 props & 2 second rowers on the bench against wire & really give it to em in the pack.josie andrews wrote:I too, am looking forward to Freddy coming back.

My concern is that Stu also tends to have some of his weakest games against warrington, I cant remember him having a real good one against Morley and co in recent seasons.josie andrews wrote:Yeah I understand that Adam, but he has only performed in training, he isn't match fit which could take his toll on him. I wouldn't want him to come through the Wakey game unscathed & then play against Wire, have a breakdown during the game & leave us with a man short off the bench & him badly injured again. That is my only worry.AdamMac wrote:I don't think it's benath him Josie and if we didn't have the wire match next week I think he would get a run in the 20's but with this in mind I think madge we have a much better idea if fielden is ready to play next week if he plays against wakey than in the 20's.josie andrews wrote:If Fielden is okay to play, why is he not having a run out with the 20's on Saturday to blow any cobwebs away?
Is it just because he is "Stuart Fielden", & it is deemed beneath him to play in the academy to see how he goes?
What if he takes to the field on Friday & has another breakdown, what then?
Every other player has played in the U20's after a long injury spell.
Could be wrong but that's my take on it
With all due respect WES Fielden has been nothing but the most professional of players,from the time he came until now.29wes28 wrote:Un neccessary post Plat-W, bear in mind before the days of IL Wigan as a club had player power not to be envied!
70-nil and 75-nil thrashings where not because the lads got outplayed!
Sounds like the Gaz Hock scenario over again, hope Stuart can put a 9 out of 10 performance in for his return matchjosie andrews wrote:Yeah I understand that Adam, but he has only performed in training, he isn't match fit which could take his toll on him.
