Quote: Saint Simon "that is my major worry, we need another big prop, (like you who have two bis enforcers) or he could burn out. He played 80 mins in france in 28 degree heat and did a full traing session at 9am next morning.
I wish we had secured Carvell when we had a chance'"
I agree with you. It's no good him doing 80 minutes if his contribution is less than two players doing 40 mins each, which looking at his stats it looks to be the case.
At Warrington we have a lot of big players in the pack. Morley, Carvell, Rauhihi, Wood, Westood, Anderson, Anderson, Harrison are all big blokes. Saints have a few smaller pack players in Flannery, Wilkin etc. and whilst this is working at the moment, it is a risk for the future, as you are over-playing Graham. Props should not play for 80 mins. Let's see when he is 26 how good Graham is. Morley has been playing for 15 years and is still at the top level, I do worry for Graham (for England's sake, not Saints!!!!)
