If anybody thinks our current set of props will be among the top 5 in SL this season they are deluded. Tony Smith's recruitment over the past 3 years has been absolutely appalling and the team still hasn't recovered from losing all the experience we lost 2 seasons ago. This season TS has IMO thrown his final attempt at getting Warrington back to a free flowing rugby league side, he's brought in young, English lads, in the likes of Hughes, Lineham and Westerman which I've no problem with but to go into the season with Hill, Sims and Dodds as our main props is just ludicrous, IMO Warrington need at least 2 more experienced props to compete this year, it's ok putting the young lads in moderation but to start with just 3 experienced props is a massive fail, and to anyone who thinks we will improve dramatically from last season, let me tell you know they won't.

Aye

Going back to page 11.. Prop9824 was blatantly Anthony England wasn't he? Ever since he signed for Wakey he's been over on that board too....?

Excellent detective work. Although I suspect it is more likely his dad - he was always posting on facebook and having a go at anyone who said a bad word about his
son.

I have been impressed with Jordon however it still appears that his fitness needs to improve based on comments made by smith in the coaches corner things and also the fact that he does such a low amount of minutes. He is very good going forward and makes decent metres and no complaints about his defence - if we can get his fitness sorted and turn him into a 25 minute spell prop we will have a very good player on our hands.

I've been impressed too. I was never disappointed with his signing, I saw it as a good opportunity to sign a squad player on I presume a fairly modest contract who has potential.

He's certainly exceeded my expectations though. Yes he needs to play more minutes (although I think most of what TS says about him in the videos are a bit of banter). The time he spends on the pitch though are becoming increasingly more productive. Good start from the lad.

please come back cox.....
