Quote: Father Ted "Wane played six props and no one understood the sense of starting with Andy Powell. He lasted 9 mins at the start and 5 at the end of the game. In those 14 mins he made 13 tackles and 3 hit ups. Powell is 6'5" around 18 st and thunders in when tackling. When he went off Scott Taylor came on and made massive metres. The Giants pack could cope with the size and pace of the Wigan forwards.
The two Giants starting props faced three Wigan starting props in that first 15 mins and couldn't cope. Eorl went off after 16 mins.
That set the stall for the rest of the game.
Following that Green and Smith ran the show on the back of a winning pack.
The Wigan ptb was very fast as the Giants were only putting 2 men into a tackle in the middle. Hudds ptb were slow as Wigan had three men in most tackles.
Get it right up front and you'll beat Hull FC.'"
yep! i want us to go back to having 4 out and out props! a blow not having fielden for this and mullally not really stepped up... faiumu has gone well but is only a makeshift prop.
the play of the ball was alot quicker by wigan.. but bentham wasnt giving us a thing when wigan were slowing the pth down
