true, if you think about the jokes / comments made just after the end of last season, that we had 99 props etc etc
the difference is we have some class props and backup, with some good prospects still to come. Injuries are part and parcel of the game, and hopefully we are getting them out the way now and not the business end of the season
The reality is unless someone special becomes available we won’t be needing to sign a prop for a couple of seasons at least.
We also have 4 front line second row forwards it’s just very unfortunate that we have 2 injured at the same time going into the season.
We obviously have risks associated with certain players and NRL interest however in Havard, Eseh, Dupree, Hill we have the foundations in place to be very settled in the prop department for best part of a decade.
Mago 29, Thompson 28 and Ellis 27 all got a few seasons on them also.
Realistically we are only likely to lose Cooper anytime soon unless we move on Mago too.
It’s a great position to be in allowing us time to really focus on developing our young props that are already at the club.
Chan at the moment I’m not sure about but he’s another only 23/24 who has time on his side and certainly has the mental attributes in my opinion to really develop in the Wigan set up similar to how Isa did.
