If both players were starting their careers now then Powell wouldn’t get a look in.

That maybe the case, but it has no relevance to the current situation.

I’m sure Forber will have s great career but at the moment he cannot be expected to play week in week out in SL especially given the state of the support he would have around him.

I’d second the statement that Tom Forber is the best hooker in the squad and I’d rather him play than Powell. He’s quick out of dummy half and tackles better than Powell.

He’d get targeted at SL level. Surely you don’t mean that?

He’d get targeted and would stop every player that ran at him.

Are you his agent or his dad? Maybe both?

He’s a very good prospect but he is 3rd/4th choice at the moment, that will probably change next year and the year after but he cannot be expected to play week in week out in this current pack.

If our pack was taking teams apart he may be a good shout for 10 games this year off the bench but better he develop out of the first team cauldron on loan in my opinion.

Give over, he’d get battered and probably ruin his career!

I’m already wondering the impact that Lee Briers might have had at Wigan…?

I always liked the idea of having someone of his quality as part of the coaching team, especially an outsider.

Early days but it’s a drab start.

It is early days and do believe we will improve.

Really need to start getting in to games from kick off. Had a lazy start vs KR, wakefields well Wakefield, cas we had errors everyhwhere and same with Cat.

The optimist in me sees we’ve not been massively blown away and attack doesn’t appear to be clicking 100%

Our forwards need to improve massively.
