| Anyone else think that prop forwards in this country aren't given enough minutes?
It is a pet hate of mine the inter change system I'll admit but I genuinely do think that props aren't given enough game time. For example, Taylor gets on average 20 minutes before being replaced and is on for about the same in the 2nd half. Yet that big lummox in Aussie James Graham plays virtually throughout for Canterbury.
I often think our forwards are just warming to their task and then suddenly they are hauled off.

What a dreadful thing!

| easy resolution to that is to reduce the number of substitutions to 4, so that a player once sub'd is out of the game.

| Not sure. Every minute Janes is on the pitch is a minute more than he should be at this level.
Woeful again today, no go forward and his line defence was embarrassing. Very very poor and hopefully that will be the last we see if him in a Wigan shirt as a player.

To be honest I thought he was one of our better forwards vs. Cas but I agree, he isn't up to it at this level.

| None of our props were up to scratch today IMO, completely bullied by the Wakefield pack.

| Not too bothered to be honest, the issue IMO is that we only had two SL level props against their four. I wouldn't advocate playing Taylor for big minutes to make up for that when we have Saints coming up

I am bothered as I spent my hard earned cash for me and Mrs RW travel over the border, I blame the system where basically it is a 4 week season in September and coaches and clubs realise this. We were out muscled end of

Yep that's why it's getting changed next season. For the record I went today as well. Just looking at the bigger picture

I reallydont see what he offers either, surely there are others who could do a better job.
