Brett Finch wanted to move from Parramatta to Melbourne (which he did) earlier in the season because of a drinking ban which was placed at the Parramatta club.
He has been playing well alongside Cooper Cronk from what I've seen when Melbourne have been on TV but I can't help but think Brett Finch is just too inconsistent and that isn't what we need.

Props aren't scared of other props. You need someone who'll make a lot of metres, not someone who looks a bit scary.
Morley/Peacock/Graham aren't the top SL props because people are frightened of them, they're the top SL props because they work hard and take their team forward.
That's the sort of prop Wigan need IMO, not a Webb.

But a big hit or big drive lifts the team and the fans and that is what he would bring, we need a player with fire in their belly.
Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I agree actually.
But its very clear to me we need two props of two different kinds. One enforcer and one of the type you describe to replace the man who was supposed to be doing that job - Stuart Fielden.

Forgot about Fielden's influence and our the rest of our pack.
Forgot about how we week in week out the backs play behind a beaten pack.
seriously head down to the JJB and watch a few games.
Where in my post do I mention our pack being dominant.
I just said that Fielden is a work horse not that he is any good. In a better back we would get alot more out of him.
I am agreeing with you in the sort of prop we need, but we already have a work horse we need an enforcer.
For the red vee dude, seriously you take my post way too literally.
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
