I said months ago and still will do, we don't need a prop. Our pack at the moment is playing very well, O'Carroll soon to be back, I'm sure his competition to the squad will make Prescott up his game even more, Feka is fine, could do with losing a slight bit of weight, but won't mind if he stayed as he is. Fielden as got better and better as the season as gone on, hope he continues to improve it. Coley, now is he playing for a contract or has his game could back to the way he use to perform, sign him up please.

Pack is fine - next year

Fielden, Feka, Coley, Prescott and O’Carroll
Hock, J. Tomkins, Hansen, Mossop being pushed by Farrell
O’Loughlin and Flanagan

As our Chairman commented on what positions he is after buying? Or are people guessing as to what he is?

New No 7 and Fullback for me (Possibly a centre, for the left aswell)

About as reliable as another "credible source" stating that SBW was coming to SL

Worth the entertainment value alone



- dream on guys. Was a bit different when we signed him and on here was "what a waste of money for a hasbeen", "too old" blah blah etc etc..

Thought we clutched at straws on signings but you lot are in a league of your own. best one Ive heard all year and Ive heard some crackers. I take it his recent resign means nothing then?

The Warrington board

Yep, we have our fair share of planks and nuggets who believe the slightest thing people write as well.

Can i have some of what you are drinking?!

Even if Coley resigns we need another Prop.

Didn't one caller on Radio Manc say that it was rumoured we are after Richard Villasanti?
That sounded odd as he retired from Quins following a knee injury.
No one would know more about that than IL.

If we went for Villasanti any credibility IL has would be lost after the way he went on at Quins.

It's just a rumour that's been heard, stop crying.

Cant help crying but its with laughter on here. You guys should be on stage

Well consisting most top teams only have 4 good props, and we currently have 5 good props, ok one is injured, why do we want another? Were does that put the likes of O'Carroll and Prescott in the future. Coley should get another deal, he's providing far more to the pack then any other at the minute.

Are you including Fielden in those 'good' props?

Explain to me what he's done wrong this year?

Apart fom kneeing an opposite team player

We do not have 5 good Props.

We have an impact Prop that needs more of a platform, we have Coley who of late has been our best prop but has been average generally, we have Fielden who is solid in defence but not the best in making the yards and Prescott and O'Carroll both young and have yet to prove themself able to take a full season in SL let alone prove they are up to the standard of a full year.

Feka needs more support, he needs more go forward as does the team, Props win pots and there is a reason we have struggled this year, namely the Props have not stood up to the challenge of putting us in game winning positions.

You tell me why you think he should stay at the club.
I don't think he justifies the massive wage he's on.

He played for them once. Back in 2004 when Penrith were actually good.

As I said, good player. Not anywhere near the 'great' category though.

I don’t justify his wage, who does?

We haven’t had a problem dominating the game, via our props, apart from the Wire game, but every pack as it’s off day. Our problem as been developing our percentage of ball into points, which for the first time we did it against Salford in the first 20, then the usual happened he switched the speed and pressure off, something I‘m sure BN is dealing with behind the scenes. Most games this season we’ve had that sort of possession but not turned it into points, were as if we had a very good SH and FB, we’d have a lot better chance of doing that. Our pack isn’t currently doing anything wrong.

Think if we do sign a prop anyway, we’ll looking at Andy Lynch!

Aussie NRL props, most are living in a little dream world. If you think we’ll sign one of them. Have to wait till next year and offer Fielden’s current wage, if you want one of them, then maybe we’ll have a slight chance.

Not only do we need a Prop we need an enforcer, an aggressive forward. Lynch does not fit the bill.

Most bets are on Lynch returning to Castleford.
We still need a prop and a half back which it what IL said before he left for Aus and what he is reported as saying once down under.
Those are our needs and time will tell if those are the positions filled by new signings.

Fielden gets smashed on nearly every drive, he drives with drives with no agression and has no fear factor anymore. He is good in defence. He is an average prop on a wage of two decent props most probably.

Dont get me wrong I would love him to get back to his Bulls form but lets face it, it isnt going to happen. The harsh truth.

We need two props as the Wire game showed.

Were as he said this? If it isn't audio or video, he hasn't said it in the world of sport.

No 26-30 aged Aussie prop would come over here, would you totally risk losing a possble spot in a SofO game or Oz squad spot for a few seasons in SL, were if you don't perform within a month, your being bad named as and 'OLD OVER PAIDED AUSSIE IMPORT'

I think Lynch is the best british prop availiable for next year, i'd like saints to be in for him and possibly O'Meley as well

I think it's fair to say that most of the props weve been linked with maybe arent up to the job

O'meley knees have gone shadow of his former self
Webb probably wouldn't get a visa and again although not past certainly not in good form
Mason cost a bomb, relationship with fielden and again poor form
Lynch certainly more of a hardworker than enforcer and probably Castleford bound

And as for Lenegan going on about trying to to get 23/24yrs old players yet to play origin surely they would think to themselves how do I ever stand a chance of playing origin by going and playing in England for a few years.
In some respects I fear a little what Lenegan has got lined up for us I really hopes its good news and exactly what we need in terms of the front row, sadly at the minute cant see it.

I'm not stating Lynch as I want him. If think he'll be the only prop with have an half decent pop at getting.

Didn't know about O'Meley's knees! If Pollard was after Justin Poore (24 and just debut for NSW) then he has no real chance, he has stated he wants rep footy, and as you say thats not going to happen if he's playing over here

We're Wigan we can do what we please
