Re: new prop
2018 season we had prime bateman, faz, greenwood and isa. Remember how lethal greenwood and George was at saints away when we tore them to shreds that year. Think greenwood was an underrated player

Re: new prop
i think most would agree with you there. Talented, had a very good offload, but seemed to get injured very easily.
if i remember rightly too, both Greenwood and Faz wanted to play left side, and Faz was moved part way through the season to accomodate Greenwood? Faz just runs such good lines down that left side though, its difficult to displace him

Re: new prop
I thought this thread was about a new prop? Now that the gossip suggests we're keeping Mago despite Wakefield wanting him, does anybody have news about any further developments?

Re: new prop
How quickly things can change, last season 2nd rows filling in at Centre - next season centres filling in at 2nd row ?Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 12:17 pm Personallyim ok with ISA staying, i think if Bateman leaves KPP slots in with ISA as cover. I also wouldnt want to invest too much at 2nd row - its probably one of the areas you can afford to have "squad players" its not a key pivot role.
I think in years gone by Wigans 2nd row has stood out but more due to lack of genuine centre threat which we now should have having 2 decent centres.

Farrell, Isa, KPP, Nsemba. Smithies is also an option, but I suspect he'll be at loose forward.widdenoldboy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 7:44 pmHow quickly things can change, last season 2nd rows filling in at Centre - next season centres filling in at 2nd row ?Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 12:17 pm Personallyim ok with ISA staying, i think if Bateman leaves KPP slots in with ISA as cover.

Re: new prop
Last season Isa wasn't getting a look in, he wasn't even making the squad. If we are now looking at him as back-up then we are going backwards. Partington is much better than Isa.
