| We need to sign some props. It's not about injury, or Ban, we just haven't got 4 top drawer prop forwards.
We need to replace Philbin for starters. His impact has declined and his work rate is not enough to justify the position. e.g) Bullock is seen as below him in the pecking order yet made 110m against Leeds in 12 carries, with 20 tackles with an AG of 9.

| I thought it was more questioning his place in the side on current form rather than a "barrage of criticism".
Seems to me some players get a pass, and others get crucified.

| Philbin works really hard, has a great engine and can make the occasional tackle bust. However I don't think he's ever been at the level we need to compete with the best, possibly mainly due to his stature. If you want an 'awesome foursome' (in the rugby sense of course) then Vaughan & Harrison and probably Musgove and possibly even Bullock (who has just been given a new 2 year deal) get in there as they're genuinely big men. Philbin isn't. No criticism, it's just the way it is.

| That's a bit daft. No problem with questioning his form currently, but Philbin was one of the best around in that 2019 season: instrumental in our cup win and a GB tourist at the end of the season.

| I think Philbin is a good hard working Wire. One or two (without mentioning name of course) love throwing a bit for some reason but that's how they are. Happy to see Bullock get a deal & hope he stays fit. Wire going well.

| He was very good in 2019 and that's 5 years ago now.
