Sam Walters is 6'6 and 18 stone

Stop it. He's only signing theyve not whinged about YET. And not even pulled a Wigan shirt on yet. priceless.

Not had a real quality one since Feka.

Feka did less minutes than Mago

Bigger impact though

Thats true. But he would be a waste of a sub in the modern game

This thread isn’t about him.

He didn’t look too bad to be fair. He’s an improvement on Ramon Silva

He ran at 8 metres a carry last night and put himself about in defence. It was what, a 15-20 minute spell at most? In that short amount of time I thought he showed a bit of what he’s about.

I wouldn’t get carried away with him either way, I don’t think he’ll have been brought in to be a starter and will be fighting for a spot with guys like Hill and Nsemba. I also wouldn’t be hung up on his size. Catalans played him through the middle but we might not. I do think he’ll prove a shrewd bit of business over time. I think in terms of energy and attitude, he may be viewed as a long term replacement for Isa.

Nope it's not, but I replied to what you said and it kind of debunks your theory

It doesn’t because we have…

Granted Chan and Walters may come through, what we are lacking is proven experience and not project players.

Cooper, Mago, Ellis - they are our 3 most experienced props for next year. This is my issue and point.

We have Havard, Byrne and Hill as our younger props…

There’s an imbalance imo.

It needs sorting and fingers crossed it will be. The club are being quite open in saying ‘there’s more to come’ regards new players. We need an experienced prop and an experienced second rower, to add to Keighran (and the 3 announced already). If we can start the season with an experienced prop, Byrne, Ellis, Havard and Walters in a 5 prop rotation, that will do for me, especially with Cooper to come back. I very much doubt Mago will be here.
