We didn't have any that fit that description last season either. Fozzard was supposed to but rarely did, partly due to him covering Vella's absence for the 1st half of the season. An impact prop is something we have lacked since our promotion. Aizue could do this to a certain extent, as could Ryan Tandy in 2007, but on the whole its a type of player we have lacked for some time. Time will tell if Clinton is up to the task.

You started it by bringing up Fox's stats. I gave a like for like stat blowing yours away. Of course wingers are going to have better stats than forwards

P.S If you are losing an argument just start insulting people it works for this imbecile every time

I would suggest that with 3 out of last seasons top 4 sides in the league ladder losing 50% of their matches thus far it could well be argued that the better sides are underperforming..

last year was not a true reflection due to the underperforming
This year and the previous 20 are proof of that
just for the record I meant Hull, Warrington, Wigan & Bradford
Bradford being the only one not to regain form

I only brought Fox's stats up to explain to Mr Z-H that we have players acheiving over 7m/carry. Wingers will not always have better stats than forwards, depends on what their coach asks then to do. Morgan always works his wingers from DH early in the sets. He did this with Byron Ford & Jon Steel back in NL and has even recruited wingers (e.g Colbon) who can do this effectively. Not my preferred style, but he's the gaffer and seems to know what he's doing!
