He hasn’t been playing as a prop anyway but there isn’t a great deal of difference between prop and his role at 13 but the guy is about the same size as Partington. We do not need anymore players who are workaholics, aggressive and good defenders but don’t make much impact with the ball. We need a couple of 6ft+, 17 stone+ bruisers, who will dent the line and drag defenders with them. Rads and Lenagan should give the prop recruitment job to somebody else because it’s been an Achilles heel for too long now.
100% Agree.
Although Luke Thompson would be a good recruit we need a bruiser to replace Burgess/Clubb. I'd be interested in Sidlow, taking Walmsley as an example of a lower league player slotting into an already strong pack means the unit improves.

Re: New Prop
If the rumours about Waney returning are true then our prop recruitment will be taken care of adequately, to say the least.
Got to say, if Shaun Wane does return it will feel more like "Wigan Rugby League" again!

True, and folk were saying he wasn't big enough, wonder if that experience has stayed with him and fed into his coaching.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 4:12 pmWaney wasn't the biggest of props.widdenoldboy wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 3:23 pmIf Wane playsWiganer Ted wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 3:21 pm If the rumours about Waney returning are true then our prop recruitment will be taken care of adequately, to say the least.
