| Quote Baked Bean Boogie="Baked Bean Boogie" so what if he only mangages 35-40 minutes a game, it is our other props that should be getting scrutinised as Feka does what he is paid to do'"
Don't we normally pla with 4 props? So this would mean that on average the other props are going to be doing maybe as many as 42 mins/game when rotated equally with Feka doing 35?
I don't understand why his game time is pulled into this time and time again when other props are quite often equally rested. |

| Quote Billinge_Lump="Billinge_Lump"The thing is though, when he did lose that extra stone and a half he's carrying round last year (around the time of him giving that bus driver a whack) he became far [imore[/i effective. Because he was just as powerful a runner, but was fitter.
So, alas, your opinion is wrong.'"
Spot on.
This bulls*t that he's lose power if he lost weight is exactly that. All that would happen is his fitness would improve and he'd be able to play more minutes.
He was just as powerfull in his first season at Wigan but was at least 2 stones lighter.
Anybody remember how slim he was in his first game at Catalans when he burst away to score under the posts from 40metres out?
Thats the shape he should be in now. |

| Quote alanpdodd="alanpdodd"Not true in my eyes, Feka is a game changer when he comes on. People complain about his tackling but he caught Burrow against Leeds last week so it he really that bad? Looking at his tacking stats his missed tackles are slightly worse than Hargreaves @ Saints, as a made v missed rate Paul Wellens is defensively worse... As a prop his other attributes make up for the perceved weakness in defense and while he doesn't play more than 35 mins on the whole he's not that far behind other props.'"
But Hargreaves has made over 100 tackles more lol. |

I know which of the two props I'd rather have.
it's about getting the balance right really. To me, Feka already does more game time than he used to. Yep, he could do with losing some weight, but I wouldn't want him to lose too much.
His runs, when he comes on, are awesome - and whatever anyone says, the opposition fear him. I swear, you could see the consternation in the Leeds ranks whenever he got the ball. |

IMO Feka has the ability to play more minutes. It's just that Noble sticks with his weird timed substitutions - He brings Feka off 5 mins before half time.

I've told them many, many times.
Wigan had three young props, Prescott, O'Carroll and Hargreaves.
We let the worst of the three go. |

No, because he becomes a defensive liability, he isnt able to react and is exposed as a gap in our defence. |

For the balance of our squad I'd rather have Hargreaves (even though I only rate him as average really), we already have an impact prop. He's the kind of average workhorse player than every squad needs. |

Trouble is we've already got at least two of those. Get another gamebreaker, and we'll be well balanced. |

Oh, I fully understand why you want him in your squad. I just find the use of the numbers used in that post to defend his defensive liabilities amusing. |

Are you seriously telling me that you would rather have Hargreaves before Prescott or O'Carroll( when he is fit obviously) |
