Crowther & the entire youth contingent are really impressive & an indicator of the good times to come if we can keep them all together.

Vaughan and Fitzgibbon show Nrl class in every game they Play for Wire. That standard is stepping in to the other players who have raised their own game. Walker, Currie are just two examples.. Musgrove just gets better with each game as well. He seems to keep up the intensity of play and makes good yards.

Should Musgrove not already be at that intensity then?

Both are an upgrade on an aging Mike Cooper and you were pretty quiet about his performances.

Mike Cooper has been and gone (thanks for your service) but I agree without any disrespect at all but our pack with these two guys leading and Harrison playing a big part setting the example as Bobby D states is in the healthiest state that it's been for years

Agreed. Two years ago, almost to the day, we lost 40-8 away to Catalans, and our pack that day was Mulhern, Clark, Cooper, Longstaff, Holmes, Magoulias. We also had Mata'utia and Currie in the centres. Sacre bleu!

I don't know what Duckie is playing at here (unless it's the usual clamber for attention with expressed faux controversy).

Vaughan and Harrison would grace the pack of any side in Super league.

How many times down the last few years have our bench props come on the pitch, and the impact and intensity has dropped significantly.. Musgrove just keeps that up, Philbin doesn’t have that energy..

Re: Fitzgibbon : Wed May 15, 2024 11:15 am  

I think Philbin has played well recently & should be judged on these games.

Re: Fitzgibbon : Wed May 15, 2024 11:25 am  

Philbin made 20plus meters against Salford, Hull and Kr were 70plus . that’s not playing well in my book. He’ll be lucky to still be at wire next season if Yates signs on
