As for other players I see that Greg Burke has gone out on loan, there's another one who has suffered from injuries since playing 20+ games as a prop in a season at a very early stage of development. Eamon O'Carroll is another. Now you tell me which of Wigan's academy produced props have matured into their careers rather than peaking early and fading away generally under an injury cloud? Burke has never started as a prop for Wigans first team and whenever he has played from the bench it's been as cover for the back row as Wigan have had two other props on there along with him in all but a couple of appearances. http://wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1140 http://wigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmore=3320 http://wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1825 And as for Mossop he was 22 years of age before he became a starting prop. http://wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=750

Anyway call them props or utility forwards the Wigan robots like Burke and Tuson just do the same job with the same effect on their bodies.

Makes me wonder what Leeds are doing getting rid of two very experienced forwards. I was expecting Mossop to sign for them.

If Wigan had no regard for player welfare McIlorum would have played in the GF.as he wanted to. Shaun Wane must have been tempted but was advised by the medics not to play him

If Wigan are so reckless with players health surely such a pivotal player would have been picked.

Your right.
Shaun Wane must have the welfare of influential players at mind. Especially the ones that don't play for Wigan!
