O'Carroll signs for Hull : Tue Sep 06, 2011 5:46 am  

What are your thoughts about him?

I know he has had some bad injuries over the last few years, hopefully he will get a bit of luck at Hull.

Quite happy with signing, low risk really and if rumours are correct about Lynch joining Hull we will have 5 decent props next year.

Just returned from long term injury, he was getting stuck in against the Bulls there was no holding back so he seems confident in his fitness, not the biggest but will do a decent job

Strange that. We are pretty light in the pack as it is.

It's no coincidence that we lose against teams with a big pack/front row, a la wire and catalans.

Re: O'Carroll signs for Hull : Tue Sep 06, 2011 6:34 am  

Not happy with this at all.

He has been nursed back to full health and is now leaving. That is ben davies and o carroll that are going in favour of that bloody liabillity from Hull.

Makes no sense at all; not impressed at ALL with this. Letting young talent go and no doubt bringing in that numpty from Hull? Not happy at all Wigan!

Sad to see O'Carroll go, but wish him the best of luck. God knows he's owed some after the last couple of years he's had with injuries.

I had touchline seats against the Catalans at the DW and the difference in size of their bench forwards to Wigans was noticeable. When Cross was signed to cover the loss of Feilden I thought that would be enough for the season. Losing Cross and now Hock who could get a ban that would see him miss the rest of the season is a blow.

Will Mossop make a return?

No doubt Mossop will return and pronto.

And he does fight well above his weight, but he isn't as big as, say, Cross.

We need Fielden to return pronto too IMHO. If we don't get our front row sorted we can say bye bye to the final at OT.

Good Luck to him, he's had a horrendous run of injuries so I hope it turns out well for him.

We still have Fielden, Mossop, Lima, Prescott and Hock as senior props for next season, but IL has some serious wiggle room with the salary cap to bring some new players in next year.
