38352_1407962301.jpg Packs Win Games
Great Packs Make All Backs Look Class

| Quote: NickyKiss "Bullock has all the attributes physically to be another Alex Walmsley but he just doesn’t seem that have the mindset. He’s big, quick, an awkward shape, has decent footwork and mobility but he lacks aggression and seems to lack that will to push himself to be the best he can be. I’m not sure if it’s a confidence thing but there’s been no signs that there’s any steel inside of him. It may just be that Adrian Lam couldn’t get the best out of him (as he couldn’t with anybody) and Powell will be perfect for him. One things is for certain-get the lad playing to his potential, running his weight, pushing himself etc and he could be top class.'"
He won’t be top class as he doesn’t remotely look like he could be useful in the NRL. He’s still a handy acquisition, considering we’ve got no pack, once again disregarding the the Golden rule…
PACKS WIN GAMES!
…furthermore, he never shown me he was better than Flower or Clubb, even Bateman Sargenson and Farrell have been more useful as makeshift props.

Re your last sentence, MKW, I'm in total agreement with you. If our new head coach and CEO regard Bullock as a likeforlike replacement for Hill, then I'm VERY worried. Let's not forget that Cooper is no spring chicken anymore.
Let's hope that Bullock is a "work in progress" project for Powelll, and we actually sign a prop of genuine clas in the next few weeks, otherwise 2022 is going to be a struggle.

| My view is was Hill the messiah no was he good a lot of the time yes but would you rather have had Morley and Carvell before Hill I’d say yes. Basically what I’m saying is give the lad a chance before we all condemn him, yes it’s me super critic saying that

| From speaking to some Wigan fans I would suggest that he has not really achieved his full potential yet but what that is realistically who knows. Now, as a Wire, I wish him well.

| Bullock, in the interview with the Warrington Guardian, says re Hill “Making sure his absence isn’t felt is up to me, the other props that are already here and any players who may come in.”
I may be clutching as straws, but that suggests that there could be another on the way.

| Obviously I’m not privy to the clubs finances but as a casual observer I’d say that so far salary wise we have;
Williams for Ashton, direct swap of marquee spot
Minikin for Mamo
Mata’utia for Lineham (Mata’utia maybe on higher salary due to shortage of centres available?)
Harrison for Akauola
Which leaves us with Hill, Inglis plus whatever cap space we had left from last year to cover Holmes and any increases in new contracts (such as King and Ashton). Whatever is left over could go towards another prop, but I don’t think that would cover a direct replacement for Hill.
Edit - Missed out Bullock, so there's another chunk gone.

| Also, we didn't directly replace Murdock Massila last year who'd have been on a few quid. Looks like Steve Bruce will be available with the takeover of Newcastle Utd, he'd probably do well at prop.

| Supposedly about to announce Jason Clark on another 1 year deal, and i think unless Doro makes a step up we will see Clark play at prop a fair few times.
If Butler gets his fitness back and powell spends some time with him, we'll be ok. He's a good prop who i was really excited to see play. But he never really got a chance under price.
So glad we don't have to put up with players out of position, and being left on the bench, or given 10 min spells anymore. I'm so happy we've finally moved past Price and can't wait to see the next 3 years under Powell

| It's just a real pity that Harrison has picked up an ACL injury. I'm sure that he's a long way from being the finished article but he does look as though he has potential. Hopefully players such as Butler can benefit from the return of reserve grade fixtures.

I agree on Butler - not sure what happened this season as he was impressive at London and I thought was a good signing. Had hopes he’d be a Hill type signing from the Championship.
Hopefully - he’ll be like a new signing next season.

I suspect most loanees couldn’t come back to accommodate the Williams Salary Cap issue (who knew we abide by such a thing?).

Let’s face it since 2012/13 it’s been very bad..
Add Tasi & Kibula to that p155 poor list
