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
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.
