Even though he cost us abit i think that Gleeson was a good buy for us. Even though he hasn't had the best season at Warrington up to now, he's already getting involved in the game, scoring his first try on monday against Catalans.

Roberts is receiving more of the ball now which can only be a good thing. Gleeson set up his own try by freeing Roberts and then supporting him.

It's a step in the correct direction, he's a quality centre, an international, a Wigan lad and if it means Roberts gets more of the ball then that's great as it gives us attacking options down both left and right sides of the field.

Exactly, them two have a good partenership between them and lets hope it stays that way.

All this means nothing if we cant front up in the forwards and defend.

Agreed, it counts for little anyway.

For me, we have a great 1 to 7. The problem lie's after this.

Fielden - Lost his bottle.
Prescott - Not got the strenght, agression.
Feka - Not onlong enough. Teams seem to be getting used to him.
Coley - Not a prop.
Hock - Would walk in any team. Carrying the pack.
Hansen - Great effort, but cant break a tackle.
O'Carroll - One of our better go forward props.
Riddell - Still miles behind with fitness.
Mccolrum - Liability.

Massive clear out in this list Apart from Hock, id get rid of the lot.

:shock:

O'Carroll and Prescott are great young prospects.

Hansen does nothing fancy but it is likely that Bailey will leave at the end of the season and you need a workmanlike player in your pack just to work in the muck and nettles department.

Feka is only on for 20 minutes at a time but there are other props in Super League who are interchanged at similar intervals and no-one seems to pick up on that. Feka, although didn't have a fantastic game against Les Cats is our main source of go forward along with Hock. I'd say without Feka we'd possibly be further down the league table than we are now.
