Re: Wigan II the resurrection : Fri Apr 15, 2022 7:21 pm  

Tanginoa is the best second rower we have, in fact he’s one of the best in the league!
Yes, he can play prop forward and can do a sterling job of it, in fact he may be the 2nd best prop at the club.

We are a genuine prop forward short, we should have recruited one in the summer but we didn’t and as a result we have to play our best second rower at prop. We can comfort ourselves that we have others who can play at 11 or 12 but the truth is none are as good at it as Tanginoa and with him at prop forward we are a less challenging with the ball.

So for me, IMO, Tanginoa should play at 11 and we should keep him there to let him regain his feet in his best position so that he can become that player who made The Dream Team.

In the meantime we need to pull up trees looking for a genuine prop forward who has some size and plays with authority.

You’re joking, that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read.. He’s nothing like, pure fantasy, he’s not the best at Trinity Batchelor is, Tanginoa is terrible at present and doesn’t deserve a place

He used to be good but even then he wasn’t the player you describe. Utterly ridiculous.

Fine apart from lazy Tanginoa, put in Crowther a much better player.

In your opinion!

He made the Dream Team when he was in the second row, that’s undeniable
He lost his form and his confidence when we started using him as a front rower then messing him about by playing him off the bench, as a prop then the odd game back in the second row then back to prop again

Batch has been better this year but still hasn’t shown the sort of form that Tanginoa did in his first season let alone fulfilled his own potential.

There, I managed to answer you without being disrespectful to you or using ridiculous emoticons

Crowther, who came on from the bench and put in two very lazy and poor defensive efforts that contributed to 2 of Wigans try’s
Not for me, he’s got work to do IMO

And Tanginoa hasn’t!

When did Tanginoa last play to anywhere near his ability level? About two years ago that’s when.

When did Crowther? About two weeks ago.

Pretty obvious to me.You’re only as good as your last game that’s what they say. In that case Tanginoa is the worst player at the club.

Yes I’m being extreme to prove a point but not by much.

You’re just making my point for me, the last time we saw Tanginoa play at his best was when we played him at second row every week and let him find his best form there, y’know about 2 years ago

Jordan is limited, we’ve seen enough of him to know that what we see now is how he’s going to be throughout his career. He’s never going to trouble the opposition enough to make a Dream Team selection and that’s OK but he’s borderline good enough for Super League, that’s all.

Trust me I’m not making your point. Tanginoa is playing mainly SR and he still hasn’t had a decent game.
