If we don’t have 4 props that can dent the defensive line each game, it will be a long season.

Correct. We’d have got soundly soundly beaten. Was as good a match as I’ve seen in a long time. I think what helped those teams is that they were largely rested going into it which gave a better product on the field but that’s a whole new thread

Man was I watching a diferent game? High in effort and intensity, low in quality.
We were badly beat up with injuries back end of last year, worse than anyone else. Think what's why we went out so tamely...
If we get another prop we'll have nothing to fear next year, and can mix it up with anyone......

Each to own opinion bud but think you’re in minority if you think last years GF was low in quality. But hey ho

Don't believe all the hype from the commentators. They had to say the GF s the b'z and e'z this year more than ever......

And talk of Bodene Thompson at prop from Agar is a joke, as well a big concern.
I actually think he's a decent signing - he's mobile and puts in a shift in D.
But he is not the intimidating prop we need.
This has got to be a last resort surely.

Like everyone else, I hope Walters gets more minutes this season.
He's got some size - could see him developing from back row to prop as he matures, like JP and Moz did. Let's hope....

At nearly 17 stone I'm sure Thompson can fill in at prop if needed.

The game had intensity, but wasn't the most entertaining watch as a neutral. St Helens spent the entire 2nd half in wigans 20 without ever really testing the try line.

I did think it was comical all of the Sky crew trying to sell it as the 'greatest grand final ever.' Maybe for Saints fans, but just no.

Have to agree it was a magnificent game of RL for 80 mins.

Didnt realise he was that big.If he can perform nearly as well as prior he could prove to be an astute signing.

Don’t worry I didn’t. I’ve watched the game long enough to know when it’s high quality

Absolutely. Such a shame no fans in the ground to witness it. Would have been electric
