Don't forget Mossop made a 30m break for one of the tries, so meter readings may be inflated

Quality from Mossop. Our forwards need to work this hard on friday as well. Hopefull Hoffman will be on all game.

Liam Farrell should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

That's true, in fact without that break Prescott would probably have been top metre maker out of the forwards. He just happened to be the one who put Mossop through the gap! That's why I think despite the massive effort from Mossop, Prescott just edges him as our best forward. He's an excellent ball player, better than James Graham in that department in my opinion, he just doesn't get to do it often enough.

I saw theses stats this morning in league express, and wasn't surprised by Mossop and Prescott's effort's. The both of them were superb, and the meters they made on contact were nothing short of excellent. For me Prescott's one of the best props in SL at present, and has a great opportunity against Wire like he had against the Giants to show those opposistion fans just how good he is.

you may need this

would agree with that but i thought friday night was the worst iv seen him play for wigan. think that bang on his head early doors effected him because iv never seen him miss that many tackles before. im sure last year he missed like 3 tackles all seaon so that just goes to show!

How do you get these stats? Are they only in league weekly?

I agree. He's (Paul Prescott) putting in a high level of performance on a consistent basis, which is very pleasing to see. Although this friday will be his biggest test.

Like I've said before, if he can keep this form up consistently he will join the Josh Charnley's, Sam Tomkins', Joel Tomkins', Lee Mossop's etc on a long-term deal.

What about the tackling McIlorum is putting in? 41 against Hull and now 42 in this game.

Superb effort.

70, I thought

Yes that's true, but isn't that just the point, Mossop made a tremendous break and made the yards, that's what we want to see isn't it, big forwards busting through tackles and taking the ball up?

A statement I do not agree with in the slightest.

If Lee didnt make that break, we possibly wouldnt of scored the try. He deserves all the plaudits he is getting for metres made.

Just because he made a 30m break, we cant just forget and just count the yardage up until collision in tackles.

Agree.

Mossop isn't a great prospect any more. He's already a top player. He's one of the best forwards in SL. (Will any trolls be foolish enough to argue with that?). The one criticism anyone could have had is that last season he had a bit of a tendency to only show up in the big games but this season he's been very good so far.

With Prescott and Mossop firing, Farrell looking good, Lockers and the Hoff being among the early front runners for MoS and McIlorum tackling like a machine the forwards are looking very good. It will be a massive test on Friday but I'm sure they'll give a good account of themselves. We have a pack that after the Hudds game will be very confident and rightly so.
