Don't think Garbut is what we want.
Rumours were around FPN may leave so we'd need at least one prop. Whether he does or not Joel could well find himself in the front row next year.
That would give us Flower, Clubb, TT, Joel, Sutton & Bretherton. There should be enough size and power for us there.

Is that a joke? Where exactly is the size or power there?

I tend to agree with you, we have the smallest team in the league and need some size

That is zero improvement. I really don't see Joel as a prop forward, if anything, other than 2nd row he should be covering SOL at 13.

Our props are clearly playing to instructions. IMO they are all good players and capeable of al lot more meters than the current stats show. Wane's obsession with them to preserve energy for dominating the rook is the reason their stats.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Aug 29, 2017 9:30 pm  
Joel has played two games at prop this season and they were his best two performances since he came back to the club so I wouldn't rule him out of that position just yet.

Collectively we need more from a few guys in that front row. There's to much inconsistency and too much going through the motions going on (to then try and peak in big games). All the props this year have had some really good games but they've always backed that up with a half interested effort (or five).

I really rate Sutton and I feel his inconsistency can be excused due to his age (and in fairness he's been more consistent then the others) but the likes of Tautai, FPN, Flower (before injury) and even Clubb have blown hot and cold. Our props deserve to be under the spotlight because they get as much protection as any props in the game. They have a teamwhos outside backs are asked to do more work then anyone else's in the league and they aren't asked to play for long minutes. In return they should be running riot in the time they're on the field.

Personally I would be dipping in to welsh union to sign Botica. He could play centre and is a good goal kicker

Plays for Oyonnax in France now.

Isn't he long retired and now on the Catalans coaching staff?

Yes. People have been complaining about the 'old boys club' and calling for new assistanct coaching staff to bring fresh attacking ideas in and let Wane focus on motivation and defence. As I say, maybe not a good fit for Wigan, I've no idea whether he is a good coach or not.
