23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png

he carries himself too straight to act as an effective bowling-ball. That & a tendency to reverse into tackles (being charitable, I presume with a view to an offload - which I've yet to see work).
Agree with others here that he was up there with the best of a USA team in the WC, but I'm prepared to give him another 10 games for us then we need to get rid if he's not improved.

From what I've seen he's been your (slightly better) version of Asotasi. Im not even a Wigan fan though but with the way you play I can tell he wouldnt really fit in as a backrower - nor would he get game time there. Move him on now and you should spend the cap space on a quality stand off.

Waney says we are adopting a different style of play next year. Until we see that in action and how players fit into this new style we won't know how Eddy will go on.
He had his injuries last year which limited his games played. If he can have a relatively injury free season then we could see a much improved player which would be great for him, us and the club.

Injuries played a huge part IMO. Every time he was trying to make an impression he'd get injured and then the next time he'd come back he'd look on a mission to make an impression again but he seemed to forget the basics before getting injured again.

At least the bloke was giving 100%. I can't criticise the lad for trying too hard which I think he was.

Quote: NickyKiss "I saw a player in the World Cup who was getting through lots of solid work, taking up plenty of carries and making plenty of tackles.'"


I saw him v the Aussies at Wrexham and I was quite looking forward to his arrival.

Quote: NickyKiss "Then he came here and that style of play changed. I presume it may be down to being part of a four man rotation were he doesn't get as many minutes but he started to play like an impact forward trying to smash people and take his carries up at 100mph.

He needs to settle down back in to that World Cup mode. He'll be far more use to us being solid and dependable then he has been trying to cause havoc (usually it's caused us more problems then the opposition).'"


We have on occasion recently signed players who look good playing one way or in a particular position and then get them playing differently or in a different position when they arrive and then wonder why they don't look as good. Both Lauaki and Eddie made their names in the back row and not at prop.

Everyone seems to think Tautai will be great and Patrick as well but unless Wane plays them to their strengths there is always a chance they won't adapt to how he wants things done.

I don't think Eddy has let us down at all. He certainly gives 100% to the cause. I won't have a problem if and when Wane plays him next year. The OP was more about how he appears to be seventh choice prop to me.
What it does show is that we have a formidable pack this coming season. Saints fans will rate theirs better, but our pack was superb for the last 6 games of last season and we have strengthened that group significantly this off season. Mind you some saints fans were saying that Percival had Sarginson in his pocket during the Grand Final, honestly they did, some even said Sarginson's place in the England squad should have gone to Percival. icon_lol.gif There were others raving about their 2 young forwards, saying how they owned our forwards. We had only 5 forwards on the pitch for 78 minutes FFS! (our own fault I know, but LH should have been sent off as well)

That's why I can't get my head round why some Saints fans have gone from criticising their side heavily to saying they've got the best squad in the league! I've said on there board I think they're a good second rower away from having a pretty well rounded and complete looking superleague team. I wouldn't say they've got the best squad or that their props are in a different league to ours though as I've read these past few days. I think its a pretty even match up between Wigan, Saints, Wire and Leeds when they all get their best 17's out on the field. Some have more depth to their squads then others though.

As for the Percival/Sarginson thing I replied to that at the time with a stat from the night Sarginson got put in someone's pocket- Percival 29metres/Sarginson 191 metres......let's hope next time they meet Sarginson manages to free himself of the shackles of Percival! He'll make 500 metres!! Since GF night I think Sarge has proved what a top player he can become (I do actually like Percival as well tbh).

Eddy isn't for me he is too much of crowd pleaser, I describe him as a present Harvey Howard "Harvey Harvey Harvey", as Mark Riddell said when he signed "I thought Wigan weren't signing over rated overseas players"

The Wigan version is "he looks like he's dragging a three piece suite behind him"
