you don't get rid of players because they have one season where they suffer a few injuries, think we might have learned that lesson the hard way when we released Sean Long after his knee injury..........

Justa matter of opinion who each person likes or dislikes. Regardless of his appearances I just don't rate him at the standard I would expect to see at Wigan.

Why what does that get Wigan? A sense of 'well done' heres another one over the old enemy? Sorry but I'm a realist, doing what we can and being smart to win the GF is far more important.

Now we are another twelve months on, do you still feel like that about Hansen?

Firstly I don't know if this is a dig or a genuine question. I feel pretty similar he's a good player, not a world beater, no Hock or Hoffman per say. I think he does a job, been off the boil in the last few weeks.

I feel in time the likes of Jack Hughes will surpass him.

It's not a dig mate. Just wondering.

I agree he's been off the boil these past few week's, but the majority of the team aren't clicking which won't help.

Totally agree, despite us being top of the league, players looking over their shoulders, especially the props, is a good thing. I wish Stuart well, it can't have been an easy time for him.

To be fair he brought it on himself, if he had stuck to plan he would have been back playing months ago, but he had to be the big I AM and do more in training than he should have done resulting in another injury, he can leave for me, too little too, god forbid some numpty gives him a new contract because he has one or two good games, we need younger fitter players in the squad even if they are 29 they still got 3 years on Stu

So just say that then?
Don't try and perpetuate an injury MYTH. (TBH I think people are influenced about Prescotts injury history because of statements like "he's never fit" and "he's always injured" and assume he's been like this for the last 4 years! Rather than look at the Facts of the situation).

If you think this seasons injury problems are a good enough reason then fair enough that's your opinion.
If you think he's not good enough (And it would be inbteresting to note is Error rate/Penalty count to other SL front line props over that same period wouldn't it?) then fair enough.

If you think that Hansen is a waste of space (Thanks for that Matty, I'd forgot who it was who came up with that earlier in the year!) then fair enough

Excuse me? As much you would enjoy me biting (which is obvious by the tone of your post) did you actually read what I wrote? I clearly started two reasons why I didn't rate Prescott, accept different people have different opinions. And yes for what it's worth Prescott does seem to be out a lot, and does lose the ball too much on impact.

Secondly when did I ever call Hansen a waste of space? Please fill your days looking through my past posts and you'll not find such a comment. I think you're now even fabricating reasons to start an argument.

What did I actually say about Hansen? You probably don't have a f^&king clue, and you probably don't care, you're just another keyboard warrior trying to fill his days.

Yeah I remember all the inbreds jumping on me for my comment about Hansen a while back, the names that I was called over a post was a total disgrace, highlights some of the attitudes and intellect of several posters on here, so forgive me for questioning your question.

I bet half the people on here don't or can't even remember what I even said.

No doubt after your comment the inbreds will be sniffing to have another pop at me on mass.

Funny how nobody brings up how I stated Sam should be given a chance at FB etc...

Gets it's just the mentality of some of the posters on here.
Some poor lad was ripped on the rumours and signs for discussing a rumour about a signing yesterday! Whatever next!

As far as i am concerned, the more fit and healthy players we have the better. I don't care about previous form, injury record or any other factor. In the play-offs we should play the best team available, based on ability and current form. If Dudson/Fielden show they are fit and playing well then get them in the team, if not leave them out.

Sentiment should not come into it. This should apply to Richards and tommy too, but luckily they both look ok for the play-offs.

Basically, just play the best available team in the play-offs.
