Yes very amusing. Always better to turn to humour when you have lost the argument.

Paul's hypothesis was that Wigan don't look after their props. He then cast about for evidence to prove it. There is no evidence beyond Paul Prescot's unlucky career. Prescot, by the way hardly played for Shaun Wane (I think he played about half a game). You can hardly make a theory stand up on one piece of evidence.

Wigan's medical support is second to none in Super League - it's why the national team use them on tour. Wigan look after their players as well as anyone can in a high contact sport as Micky McIlorum's non selection in the GF proved.

Mac was given up to the eleventh hour to prove fitness or either that to keep sts guessing.

Over the years I can think of many high profile Wigan players who seemingly managed to unplug the life support machine and come out and play in a final and a couple of them end up getting the Lance todd!

Connally Radlinski Gregory Edwards Hanley..... shall I go on?

You forgot Blake Green.

Anyway - what's your point? Do Wire players never play through the pain? Because knowing Rugby League players - I doubt that very much.

I'm pretty certain that there has never been any lack of courage with your players, just as there wasn't with those mentioned above. It's just that they might have been more high profile at the time, so they spring to mind more easily.

Yes, please do. While you're at it name the Wire players that have similarly played through injury. Then make your point.

Biggest pile of crap I've read in a long time. Care to elaborate on this style that's so damaging to the Wigan props? Would it involve running the ball in? Tackling? What exactly is it that the Wigan front row (sorry...robots) do that your own props don't?

How's Simon Grix doing?

What are you on about? I said the duty of care to the players was in relation to playing too much Super League rugby in the forwards at a young age.

Now would any of the Wigan fans posting on here care to respond to the question I posed three pages ago:

"Now you tell me which of Wigan's academy produced props have matured into their careers rather than peaking early and fading away generally under an injury cloud?"


Obviously don't expect Rogues to answer this as we all know on here he has a history in respect to dodging questions.

Give me strength, I replied to your question in the post following it. The whole issue is about forwards playing too much Super league rugby too early in their careers at a cost to the longevity of their careers. Is that so hard so understand?

So you can now answer the question I posed.

"Now you tell me which of Wigan's academy produced props have matured into their careers rather than peaking early and fading away generally under an injury cloud?"

im no wigan fan.. however i DO know the answer to this question.

Try to not to get so exasperated Paul. You still haven't come up with any names other than Paul Prescott to support your theory. Until to do it is just prejudice masked as a theory. It isn't hard to understand, no. But you need EVIDENCE.
