Walmesley seemed to do quite alot of minutes, seems alot fitter this year

Looks more of a solid prop last Thursday than the usual impact prop we was used to in 2013. Him and Amor are two big solid props that look like good starting props with big Mose to cover when they need a rest.

Im just cringing at the thought of playing 20 - 30 mins against Amor and Walmesley, getting yourself bashed to pieces and then seeind Sia and Mose coming on fresh. I think i'd feign an injury!

I don't like sia on the bench. IMO he's a starter and one of the players I'd play for long mins. He's fit, athletic, hard, agressive, makes breaks and massive in defence. That's basically everything Manu isn't.

Manu would be better off the bench. I'm not getting at Manu as he was in my top 3 players for us last year and is good player but IMO we losing sia for to long in the game.

We won't see the best of Manu until the grounds firm up like last year. He likes dry conditions which suit his runnning and off loading game.

What do people think of Brown using Alex as starting prop, we did seem to get on the front foot early in the match with his impact from the start. So are we going to see him as starting prop this year with bigger minutes throughout the game.

Based on the wolves game I like the idea of him and Amor starting. Both big hard good running props that don't take a back foot.

I'm happy to run with it. I'd rather have Alex as a good solid prop that we get that sort of work off than the 2013 Alex that made a 15 min impact.

I thought Wilkin had a good game and was his old agressive self but his avg meters per carry is awful.

He puts the effort in and is a tackling machine, but he's not big enough for the game now, gets dominated in the tackle all the time. The game is moving back to massive forwards, so much that you'd now call Amor a quick mobile forward and he's huge , just not next to Mose and Alex W

Pretty much agree with what Pete has said. It put us on the front foot from the start

Interesting that Amor only made 15 tackles all game, yet he did big mins?

It's the way it goes sometimes but no way Amor is lazy or goes missing.

What about wheeler with 20 tackles!!!!!!
