I don't think we're looking at another Prop at all with the guys we have.
Vaughan, Harrison, Philbin, Bullock, Musgrove, Crowther, Wood, Okoro, Thomas (once recovered).
We're covered well for prop options, and with Yates potentially coming in who can play Loose, second row and Prop i think we'll be done.

Yeah I was just picking up on the "I'm not sure what goes through the head of those who count the stats" comment. Seemed a bit dismissive of stats to me.

Don’t beat yourself up over it W71, I’ve edited the “bit” for accuracy… ‘Seamed 25.6% dismissive of stats to me’

Wood, Okoro, Thomas are not tested and cannot be considered ready

Bullock appears out of favour again.

If we get Yates we have enough.

Yes. I was countering Orthane's view of going into 2025 with Vaughan, Harrison, Philbin, Bullock, Musgrove, Crowther, Wood, Okoro, Thomas (once recovered).

Wood has shown he's ready for super league, and only 20 so has loads of time to develop, time will tell i suppose

Yes he looks a great prospect but is he ready for 27 games in 2025?

Good point, i get what you mean, i think he'll be great though and won't let anyone down. So We'll just have to see how he gets on, but i really hope we extend his contract

Props don’t mature until late 20s so I think Warrington need to drip feed him increasing his game time during the seasons ahead, but a great prospect on what I’ve seen so far

Re: Fitzgibbon : Sun May 19, 2024 8:37 am  

You would think that our coach knows what to look for in a prop. He gave Wood a contract after he was released by Wigan. Can’t see that he has let anyone down so far. Compare and contrast to certain established props (eg 1 released on season long loan).
