I was watching him closely and he was doing way too much work in D to have real sting in offence. I think they slimmed him down too. He’s a good player Holroyd I’m glad he’s cementing his place after a few disrupted seasons early on.

Bit like Joel Moon is Momirovski imo.. good step, good hands and quick thinker who’s good defensively

Christ, let's hope he's a better winger's centre than Moon.

Would much rather have KPP than Walters though I think he's the best replacement Wigan fans could realistically have hoped for.

If Walters carries on the rate of his progression as he has over the last 18 months he will be a top player for Wigan and potentially knocking on the door Internationally in the next couple of years.

Serious question who in your opinion will be an international first Our best 2nd rower in your opinion McDonnell or Walters? Also if you put McDonnell in front of Martin, who will score more points in his employment than McDonnell ever will I really don't get the hype.

McDonnell is a steady player. I'd like to see him carry the ball a bit more though. He and Bentley are just so one-dimensional as a pairing. Hopefully Newman and Mono stay fit so we can see more of Martin in the BR.

walters will get an England cap regardless because of who he plays for and who the England coach is

Yes, but Walters has left sadly, so move on and forget about him.
Think positive with the 4 very good new signings not on the only one that left.

OTOH the proposed rule changes on tackle height might prove very tricky for a player of that build.

Good point.
He'll get regularly pinged.

Fair point but hopefully those proposed rules don't come into effect.
