I don't think Walmsley bullies players, however, I did feel he was rattled in the 1st half from the intensity of Oledzki, Leeming, Prior and Tetevano flying out of the blocks to hit him. I felt like he made a few mistakes as a result. He is a top drawer player though and likely just had a poor 1st half.

I`ll be honest here, I was giving Shabino some stick the other week with regards to the Oledski/Walmsey debate but I didn`t actually realise how much Oledzki had developed.

To be playing at that level, with that confidence in that position is almost unheard of at such a young age or its certainly something that I have rarely seen in a prop, the last one was probably Sam Burges. In my mind, a front rowers "peak" is a little later than the average throughout the other positions, I reckon 30 is around the age where you see the best of them so it certainly looks as though he has a good career ahead of him.

Do you guys think he has much improvement left in him?

When/if we get another equally good prop to partner him, it'll take some pressure off. We've massively over-used him over the past season and now this so far.

Scarily enough, Tom Holroyd could be even better than Mik if he develops. Two fantastic front-row prospects. Tom has the natural aggression which Mik is trying to develop I think. Also better hands. And he's still huge and mobile. Nowhere near as durable though... so far.

Ha ha. We all have opinions and it's fun to debate.
Think we all agree Mik Is fantastic and only going to get better.......
That's scarey for other teams.

Mik's been absolutely brilliant so far this season. Looks to have really stepped up

Re: SUSPENSION | Zane Tetevano - 4 Matches : Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:20 pm  

Yep, even impressed some on the pies board after last week. You know a non-wigan player has to be really going some to receive praise from that direction.
