| I wouldn't write Morley off so quickly. He wasn't at his most effective at Wembley but he was on the pitch for twice as long as he normally would due to the injuries to Graham and Ellis, coupled with McBanana's bizarre choice to only name one prop on the bench. If he decides to do the the same again with fitness question marks hanging over three starting forwards he wants his head checking for holes (I'm assuming that Graham, Peacock and Ellis will all play as the noise coming from camp are pretty positive so far)

You are right about writing him off. But I used to see him play nearly 80 mins a few times for the Roosters.

| Looking to the future Wigan have named Prescott at 8 and Mossop at 10 in our 2012 squad list.
They're the future for us and will both kick on to international level imo.

Props can't keep doing that throughout their careers though. The wear and tear of being a front-rower catches up with everyone eventually. If Morley is able to just do 15-20 minute stints against the Kiwis tonight I'm sure he'll be more effective than last week. If he isn't then we can start writing the obituaries

Mossop will be a top line international and has the potential to be a fixture in the England side like Peacock, Morley and now Graham have been over a long period of time.
Prescott will be around squads and get some games here and there imo going forward like Carvell has done over the years or as another example in another position like JJB has.

Totally agree with Mossop, I would have in the squad now. But I just dont see Prescott becoming an international standard prop.

I'm really looking forward to watching Mossop develop. I just want to see him add some aggression to his game. Physically he has all the attributes to be immense. He just seems to be lacking a bit of dog, to use an Aussie phrase. Hopefully being coach by Shaun Wane, who as a player was pretty much all dog and not a lot else, will see him make that step up and become genuinely feared, something I don't think he is yet

That will hopefully come as he gains experience and starts to become one of the older heads. He isn't soft but I know what you mean.
Wane needs to give him a few slaps before a game.

1883.jpg Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

I actually think his composure, will benefit him in the long run. Graham isn't one to start throwing his fists around and it certainly hasn't done him any harm. The fact he gets straight back up after being knocked down, shows far greater psychological strength.

I'm not saying Mossop needs to start scrapping every week. I don't think that gets you anywhere in modern Rugby League. Graham does have an edge to his play though, whereas Mossop seems to me to just be content to do enough at times, as opposed to wanting to dominate his opposition. For a guy his size Mossop should more intimidating than he is. He's still very young though, especially for a front rower

| I must say that I thought Morley did much better tonight and he was certainly pumped up for it.. never seen a sub start warming up before the match had kicked off before
