Coley's stats from last Friday would say he is anything but "on the wane"! He isnt even 33 yet and he is being written off. Cross wouldnt be a good replacement for any of the Wigan props the way they are currently playing - especially not Coley

Agreed

But to support them for the next 6 months with an open mind...who knows?

That's the thing for me - we don't know how Fielden will cope when he comes back, what if it's more problematic than we thought and he doesn't play a part this season - will having an experience prop ready to fill his place in the squad help us come Playoff time? I think so.

Bit OT, but has anything been said about Leeds bringing in anyone to replace these two, surely theyd be left short in the front row if the dont, and they have hardly been on top form even with them

What Bollox: bolster their Pack strength. I hope not! the way the pack mastered Stains and without Fielden, Hock, Farrell and Crosby. The Guardian is known for it's typos, it should have read Worriers (Warrington) not Warriors.

heard they'd signed Griffin from Huddersfield

step down imo, but there you go

I wish people would stop going on about Crosby he is not a front line Prop, if we pick up an injury with one of Mossop, Prescott, Lima or Coley then we are down to the bare bones. At times this year we have gone into massive games with 3 or less Props, St George anyone?

A big question mark hangs over Fielden, and it certainly does not sound like it will be an easy injury to come back from.

Yes Hock can fill in but he can also slot just as easily into the backrow.

Options are always a headache, but as the old saying goes, "its a nice headache to have."

Crosby would get mullered filling in for those guys, and that is no disrespect to him and Davies has been off the pace from what I have seen from his performances at Barrow.

Everytime you post a picture it just comes up as the word 'image' , are you doing it right?

i can see it

I can't
