An out of form Watts is still better than all of our current props put together.

I'm not sure on the signing tbh.

Undoubtedly he's been a good player, but he's massively out of form, will be 31 in a week or two and I just don't think that, the way the club is, we would get the best out of him. It seems like loads of risk and we could potentially end up with yet another dead wood prop - see Singleton, Clark, Clubb, Burgess, Pettybourne, FNP,

I do see your point and to be honest I have no come back to it other than the good old ifs and buts system. But [iif [/iwe could pick him up on a decent deal for us he’d be worth a punt. Other than Havard I’d still rate him above any of our props

I'm wouldn't be keen on us having to deal with all Watts' penalties when we already struggle to make hard yards.

Yeah, it was kinda the same with Burgess last year. We could all see he was done, but [iwhat if[/i we could have got him back to fitness.

Can't help but think we massively missed out when we didn't get Mullhearn. He's not set the world alight, but he's better than what we have. You stick him next to Havard and another similar signing and all of a sudden the prop position isn't a massive issue. It wouldn't be as strong as others, but it's solid enough to let our other strengths (HB, 2nd row) be effective.

It doesn’t look like we’ve been in for Hill and even if we had been, it sounds like he’s gone elsewhere. It would’ve been an easy win that signing. An experienced prop, who eats up the ground and would help guide the youngsters. Im not sure what we want in a prop if we fancied Singleton and fancy Nathan Mason but not Chris Hill. I can only think it’s about finance.

It's not a modern Wigan signing i.e he's too told and, as such, we won't even consider him.

Shame really as we've seen plenty of benefit from guys like Deacon, Withers and Mcavoy. Now I'm not saying the last two were great, but they steadied the ship when we needed an injection of experience. Hill would do that and more and it's what we need.

Mike McMeeken was from London Broncos when Castleford got him he turned out to be very good.

Mulhern has been very very good for us, whilst he's not international class at the moment, he's definitely what we needed in terms of a bench prop to do good minutes and take the pressure of hill and cooper, he adds some punch going forward, and finds the floor well. He's been a good acquisition.

Butler looks a little way off, however had a very good game v leigh the other night

Hill can’t be that expensive surely? A Wigan lad wanting to finish his career with us would’ve got it over the line.

Sounds like Wire offered him a deal, as well as HKR and Huddersfield, so that would drive it up a bit. I couldn’t see it being a fortune but on the flip side, I don’t think he’ll be on a low wage. I wonder with his affiliation with Wire and Leigh, if he’d have been that keen to come hear anyway, especially if he could get better money elsewhere. Guess we’ll never know but it feels like a chance missed to really help fix the prop issue for a couple of years.

Huddersfield

Bullock 74m from 9

Can you point me towards where you are getting this info from? Is it available on the internet?

Is the 20m run in to the line for his try included in Clark's figures?
