they've said all along that 2010 is the year so they've obviously (hopefully) lined up the stand off and 2 props that will be needed.

some people say we have some outstanding young props .. thats a matter of opinion and i for one do not think our 2 young props are by any means outstanding. along with fielden ,prescot cant hack it with the big boys and ocarrol for all his affort has just not got the size and against the bigger men he just has no real impact . for me the front row need a whole new look and the backs then might start to perform

Our young props are not outstanding.

Fair to middling is a better description.


OC is too small to be anything more, Prescott may develop but atm is average.


Fielden has lost it big style and Feka is a luxury that we can only afford with at least 1 more "workhouse" prop to set the platform for him.

The reality is that we are light in the pack. Most (if not all) of our other problems stem from this.


BUT, as some anti-Nobby posters have been posting for a long time, Nobby has one style of playing RL.


That is a big pack beating the other team into submission.


Now, he has been at the club long enough to recruit the personnel for this game plan, yet we find ourselves in this position.


I cannot believe that Nobby would have done this deliberately. I have thought about it from every angle I can, and it just doesn't add up.


What has gone on? IL meddling? Players not available? Not enough money in the kitty? (yet enough to spend on 3/4's obviously).


I really cannot understand why BN of all people would be happy with our pack?


I blame the salary cap

Look at the players in our pack. IMO only 3 of them are big enough/strong enough to do their jobs effectively - Feka, Hock and Lockers.

Joel looks a big lad for his age as well in fairness but needs to grow some more in the next 5 years to be outstanding.

Our others - Bailey, Hansen, Eamon, Preccy and Fielden aren't big enough!

If I was conditioning at Wigan I'd want all of these lot to put some size on. Prescott has the frame to be a massive 18 stoner in the mould of a Jason Ryles but I reckon he's more like 16, he's got the legs of a spider. It might be too late in their careers for Bailey and Fielden so I'd expect them to see out their careers as poor to average players from now.

Eamon I'm not sure but can hardly see him putting too much more weight on and I can't see him at Wigan in 5 years time.

Hansen could put another half stone on for me and still keep the same athleticism.



Edit - Forgot about Coley (which says alot of what you need to know!) who, whilst isn't oustanding, is at least big and has outperformed the other lately.
