I thought he had a good game last night.

Nothing spectacular apart from smashing Anderson near the end.

Reviewing the stats of our props last night shows :

Clubb tackles 25, busts 3, carries 8, metres 61, average metres 7.63
Taylor tackles 16, busts 3, carries 9, metres 83, average metres 9.22
Crosby tackles 19, busts 0, carries 13, metres 70, average metres 5.38
Eddie tackles 12, busts 3, carries 14, metres 83, average metres 5.93

I reckon these stats will improve for Big Eddie as he improves his match fitness given the few games he has played this season.

So overall I think he will come good at the back end of the season.

I think some fans who have knocked him for not playing need to give him some time.

He had a great game considering his long layoff.

he's an important part of the squad. having him back allows us to give Ryan Sutton a break, and meant we didnt need to use JJ who could potentially have suffered in the heat.

Good solid game from all the props last night. They shared the workload and worked well as a unit.

I'm a big fan of Clubb at prop I must say. He looks like he could develop in to a top class player in that position.

Was also impressed with all of our props last night, Taylor seemed to be back to his old self as well, wonder if his future is now sorted?

Taylor looked a different player for sure. He was a handful in every carry and looked fired up.

Regardless of him staying or going we need that now for the rest of the year. It's easy to forget the here and now when everyone starts discussing what'll happen in the future.

what chance we will get to see Hopkins this year ?
SW usually plays someone once he starts bring them into the 19 man squads.

Do you even support Wigan? seriously what has upset you so much? has one of the management been rude to you? Ian Lenegan ignored you? there is a genuine dislike it would seem.

Karl Pryce - how was we supposed to know union had killed his career? before that he was a quality youngster
Tim Smith- should we just forget he won the best rookie in the NRL the season before?
Gelling- WAS REFERRED BY DEAN BELL AND ONE OF THE IRO"S!! not exactly proven to be as e as everybody try to say either.
Clubb- one of our best props this season
Sarginson- is proving to fairly useful
Phelps - was a good player for us but there was no room for him and much better than what we had at the time.

for all the people that bleat about we used to sign Barrett's, finch's, lima's and hoffmans how many of them stayed? Where would Lima or finch fit in now?

The performance against Catalan showed why you need enforcers in any rugby league team, personalities that intimidate the opposition when things get brutal and turn nasty.

Its fine to roll out statistics when scrutinizing player performances and value to the team but when things got heated against Catalans we looked to give the ball to Pettybourne on every other play at times and he didn't let anybody down!

Brilliant stuff from him and thats part of the reason we signed him!

(notable mention to Clubb, thought he also had a great game and looked like a real leader).

Waney said in his press conference last week that he wants to give him his debut soon and he'll get real enjoyment about that

Done zero so far ........
