Chris Hill also started at Leigh, I believe, and is still a good un.

Re: New Prop
Of course. Surely you can tell the difference between amateur players to lower league(L1). To Championship. Then a huge difference up to Super League. Talented kids will stand out.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.

Re: New Prop
I think props are the most likely player to be found at lower levels and end up outstanding at higher levels. The development of a prop is not necessarily as quick as an outside back, they often mature into the role their mid twenties, sometimes even having moved positions as their bodies develop. So I'd say you can find a good prop or two in the lower divisions if you keep your eye out.
Re: New Prop
Yes true, where did Walmsley come from ? Seems to be doing OK

Havard, not picked up at scholarship level, now probably the best young prop in Superleague. Sadly I think he's destined for NRL.

Re: New Prop
Total speculation on my part however I believe Tanginoa is being used as a swap deal for a middle forward by Wakefield.
Trinity were keen on Mago.
We need a secondrow.
Possibility it could be us in the mix.
Wire known admirers of Tanginoa too.
As I said total speculation.
