| My concern is his mobility, he's often struggling to get square/onside after making a tackle. A good hooker could make a break or force a penalty from him with relative ease as a result if the guys either side of him don't work hard to cover. We've gone through a series of big 'impact props' who haven't really worked out due to not being mobile enough (Tautai and Paleaesina later on in his career) or simply not making an impact (Pettybourne, Lauaki, Lima, Paleaesina in his last year). I'm starting to come round to the idea that there might not be a place for that style of prop anymore, at least to the extent there used to be a decade or so ago when Paleaseina was tearing it up. Teams seem to be better at dealing with their impact (often by subbing one or both props at the same time as the impact player comes on) and better at exploiting their weaknesses.

I don't disagree. I think he's out of his depth at Wigan, almost as if he never realised - and still doesn't - just what's expected of him.

| Season hasn't started yet but I hope he proves you wrong (just not against Trinity!).

| I was impressed with his first stint at Leigh at the weekend. Worked hard and made some good metres playing at Loose. Then in the second half he must have dropped at least 3 balls and didn't do near as much work. Kind of sums him up as a player really... He just doesn't have any sort of consistency. After his performance at Leigh, Joe Bretherton will be right in the mix this year. Stood up well against a big Leigh pack, impressive.

| Frustrating.
Does some really good things in attack but his style comes at a price as his rampaging efforts seem to result in him losing the ball.
We need to find another Scott Taylor.

This. He's strong as a bull, but we need him to stick his hands in glue before a game.
