Quote: Marty Grrrrrrrrrr! "Muizz will need to play as the 3rd prop to be effective. People look at him and think hes too small but he is powerful and strong. 30 tackles last night. A season at KRnt will do him a lot of good if it happens.
O'Connor 49 tackles, very impressive. When he 1st came to the club he looked dreadful. He would be in my 17 going forward now, Walters also, obviously not for Sat tho.'"
Walters is still a wee bit underdone for me, looks great going forward but his D needs work - mostly due to upper body strength. Won’t let anyone down with some bench appearances for sure but Martin, Mellor, Prior, Smith, Donaldson, maybe Thompson and A Sutcliffe all ahead realistically right now.
He will be pushing for a permanent bench spot next year I’d imagine. He took his try brilliantly against Wire.
Again if you mean first grade 17 not sure who O’Connor replaces right now. Like Walters, won’t let anyone down when his time comes though.
Good that we’re getting competition for places in lots of positions now, will be a few senior players looking over their shoulders.
