Quote: SuffolkCherryPie "What a ridiculous statement. Amor who you rated as your best prop in a previous thread, came from Wakey. Walmsley, who I rate as only behind Hill as the best prop in SL, came from Batley. What does it matter where they have been signed from, it's what they offer the team they are joining. Who would you have ahead of Mossop in your 17? He's got some nice medals for not being up to anything.'"
It doesn't matter. I haven't said it does. What I said was that you're putting a lot of hope in them. I've already said I like Tautai. Patrick I've said is an impact player who may not have the same impact against good sides. Mossop isn't in the same universe as Amor or Walmsley. He wouldn't offer anywhere near the impact of Masoe and I wouldn't swap him for any of our young props, Thompson, Richards, Savelio etc.
Quote: SuffolkCherryPie "As for Crosby, I'm referring to later crackpot posts here as well, no one has ever on any thread said he is AWESOME. He is a fine young player who improved greatly last season. His stats are pretty good. Average gain just less than Amor. By the way have you seen the season stats for your 2 superstar 19 year olds. Average gain both of around 6 metres. Greenwood in a terrible London side averaged over 7. You think it's only Wigan fans who think their own players are AWESOME. '"
Average gain similar to an Amor that wasn't fit for more than half a season. To those with a clue, he was still nowhere near fitness when he came back as well. Crosby isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Amor. Greenwood I haven't even mentioned (???), however I think he looks a talent. Your comparison is pretty fruitless. Greenwood was a frontline prop at London, Thompson and Richards were 4th/5th option, Thompson in particular playing as a third prop when on the field. If you can't see the ability in Thompson, then there's no helping you. What's even more pleasing is that they were both fantastic in the biggest game of the season. Temperament is something that is difficult to coach; they both look like they've got it. Crosby, on the biggest stage, well.....got battered and offered nothing,
