Wait until we've got 4/5 props missing? I'm not sure that's gonna work for everyone

You had your starting pack minus one last night and two players, Kasiano and Clark, who would have been on your bench. Powell made some bad choices on a wet night but Wigan without Cooper and Smithies in the forwards, and Singleton only playing seven minutes, were dominant.

That last bit doesn't apply here, we're specifically missing props, 2 out injured 2 suspended, 1 gone home and not replaced, all of them arguably are first choice cos we can mix and match. If we only had vaughan and maguire and they were out, and we had no back up you'd have a point.

Its 5 missing props. We had two wingers on the bench.

Why? I'll tell you, poor management. If you have both Vaughan and Maguire out for a long period you are goosed. Nobody has mentioned yet that we have not replaced Bateman, we just get on with it and don't look for excuses.

You can't count one that's gone home, you're getting as bad as mr moanalot (Darryl Powell)
In his after match interview he said that Wire didn't get a six again until around 70 minutes. He must have had his eyes shut, they had three in the first twenty minutes. I've only watched the first half, I'll watch the second later.

Powell and Wire fans are a match made in heaven, a moaning lot who cannot give credit to the opposition.

We played with 1 prop on the bench for 75 minutes, that prop being Paddy Mago playing his first game for weeks. You had 4 props on rotation, same as us.

KPP essentially played prop as well and I assume that was already the plan. Thought he did a great stint apart from one basic error.

I suspect Ellis would have moved to prop when KPP came on, but we ended up with players doing more minutes than probably planned.

Wire were missing 64 props though so we got lucky.

Yeah, the way we set up means prop / LF is interchangeable, KPP came on to play middle so Byrne/Ellis/Havard could rotate at prop, Mago came on and did a decent length spell for him, thought he did alright.
We've been keeping O'Neill at hooker bringing Powell back on to help in the middle as well.

The amount of Wire traffic on this site last week was incredible they all seem to have retreated now. They will all come out of their hiding places when we next meet no doubt.

That only happened because they had no props
