I don't want to go OTT about Feka but, imo, its a massive problem and it's hurting the team.
We talk about needing to bring in a new ‘dog’ prop but we fail to realise the huge benefits we could get by conditioning both Feka and Fielden to an acceptable level.
When Feka was the size he was on those pictures the guy was in NZ squad that won the tri nations!! He was really was lean and human wrecking ball.
A bigger Fielden and a slimed down Feka off our bench would be game changing.

He really has put on so much weight in his time here.
Staggering. This needs sorting for next season before we end up releasing him, some other club snapping him up, he slims down there and they end up with one of the best props in super league.

If Feka got to the level of fitness he had around the time he signed for us I really do think he'd be the best impact prop in world RL!
Imo he's the one guy in the squad we could see the biggest turn around in.
If we can get Feka fit he'd be in the top five props in the league IMO
If anyone wants to know how Feka should be looking just look at these pictures

I agree we've got to get some of the weight off him it'll be like having a new player, hopefully it can happen.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!
Wane says he wants more dog in the pack.
What king of dog though?
Someone with real pedigree that will bring quality to the team on and off the field, or a mongrel that will go out and scare the opposition and those that don't get scared will get harmed!

He doesn't need to get to that exact level of fitness but I’d prefer him to be closer to that rather than closer to what he looks like now.
I assume, correct me if I’m wrong here btw, that you’re suggesting his game will suffer at that level of weight?
At the time of those pictures he was on the verge of the NZ team and now he’s not selected for any national side? Also that weight is closer to the one he was at when he first came to us and imo back then he was a much better player (remember his first game and his 20m sprint for his try! That’s what Feka can be all about imo)

If we could get him the weight he was when he first joined us that would be ideal. He is too big!
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

He dived over the line and got injured.
