| Walters is decent, but let’s put it in perspective, he was scratching around trying to get into a pack that was fairly average at the start of the season. He got into the team as a prop, in a team who didn’t make the playoffs.
Walters is 22, will be 23 by the start or next year and has played under 50 games I think. As a comparison KPP is a year younger, has played 20 odd top level games more and is now in the NRL and playing for England.
Wigan see Walters as a potential replacement for KPP, in some ways you can see that. Both big lads, both got some pace, alright hands and like a shot. However, KPP can play centre at a push, his defence is so far above Walters. Walters is used to being the top guy, best player in all academy years, looks like a monster etc. However, when asked to put the hard work in, defend space, move laterally and read the play he has always been found wanting in open age rugby. Maybe Wigan think they can sort the work rate out in their environment. I just don’t see how you fix the lateral movement and defensive issues, I think those are fundamental and linked to his size. There is a plus and a negative to being that size.

Looking at those props I'd say we need to prioritise two senior props, not one. Far too many question marks over the others - Holroyd (very injury prone and mixed form when he does play) Lisone (good impact player on his day, but not a starter), Sangare (hasn't improved since he arrived) Hudson (hasn't played a single SL game) TNW (completely unproven and a bit on the small side). Can't take a chance this time round.

| Quote: Jrrhino "Not had much of an update since my last one a month or so ago obviously everyone has been rocked by the news of Rob since then and are still healing from the devastating news.
Brad Arthur is leading the race to be new head coach but the club is just holding off at the moment just incase anyone else shows an interest or becomes available.
Not heard anything on in regards to the enforcer we are looking at to add to our pack for next season Josh Papali'i and Jarred Wallace we're both offered deals, Tom Amone has obviously got a deal with Canterbury back in NRL.
Ian Blease has made made his first resigning at the club he's extended Leon Ruan's contract til the end of the 2026 season which I'm pleased about Ruan needs to be given a consistent chance in team because he has the potential to be a handy player for us.'" Good news on Ruan
