Props

[Ken]

can anybody tell me how we stand with go fallward props now, clubb not good enough, Pattybourn to small, Taylor not interested, not looking to good for me.

[Wiganer Ted]

We have Crosby, Greenwood, Tautai, Dudson & Clubb who are all 6'3" or above. Then there's Flower, Pettybourne, Lever and Sutton who are smaller.
It's not the size but what they do with it.
There is a mixture of size, skills, experience and youth.
In view of how everyone talks about the Wigan pack, next year doesn't bother me at all.
Having seen what other team's forwards are like I don't think we've anything to fear at all from opposition packs.
Some are bigger but not as mobile, others who are smaller can't cope with what Wigan forwards do.

Greg Burke can go prop as well.

Don't forget Jordan James

Props are at the moment:

Taylor
Flower
Crosby
Tauati

Eddie
Clubb
Dudson

Greenwood
Sutton
Lever

The first four are good enough (I am assuming Tauati won't be a flop).

The next three are not.

The last three are inexperienced.

So given Flower is out till past Easter and Taylor looks to be finished here we basically have two props of a suitable standard at the start next season.

I would not surprised to see him dragged out again given the situation with Flower and Taylor.

[Wes]

I wouldn't mind taking a punt on someone like Jordan Cox.

I'd add Ryan Sutton to your "suitable" list. When he was given successive games he was a big hit in all the games he played and more than held his own against much more experienced forwards, looking like a team-leader at times.

For his ability, he's above his years and I still remember his superb performance against Leeds at Magic, coming up against the heralded Peackock and more than held his own, always going forward, making progress.

If Taylor goes I expect we will bring someone in.
