Mossop at Wigan is a cracking prospect and the best out of all the others named on this thread IMO

and it took me back to an experience I once had when playing at Wakefield and these two girls . . . . . actually I'd better keep that one to myself!

Not in front of the children please

I can't help thinking wev'e missed a trick here, Mossop is a rare tallent and would have certainly done well for us and might just have been a revelation. I thought he might be available on loan, just a gut feeling, he is at that stage of his career, ready for the big time but just can't displace anyone to get his chance. Wigan, with Hanson, O'Loughlin, Tomkins, Hock, Bailey etc are well served in the second row. Like I said once here, as with Atkins, you never know! http://www.nwemail.co.uk/raiders/barrow ... th=raiders http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=404004

Not to everyone he wasn't just those that don't understand the game

Not every prop in the game can be a block buster, every team needs one of those that just works away at the opposition and wears them down, he's ours, got to say as well that if the runners backed him up a bit more he's got a great pair of hands for a prop, if those that lauded Scully for his off loading and ball work took a bit more notice of what Bibey does they might see that he is on par with him, the problem is that we don't play a game that allows us to take advantage of good off loading props.

Bibey is tripe....any other observation shows you dont understand the game.

2 performances in 2 years dont make a decent super league prop. Offer Bibey to any super league club and with the exception of the tripe, every coach would rather play mellow.

OBVIOSLY your opinion is the only one that counts, Wonder if JK is ready to give you his job yet.

You and JK have obviously got different ideas' about Bibey. He seems to think that Bibey has a role to play in the team and you as you have so eloquently put it do not. Perhaps a compromise could be reached here, why dont you get him to ring you to sort out your differences' over him Kear comes across as a very understanding man and I am sure when you have explained things to him he will see that he has been wasting his time with him. Just dont mention the lightbulbs' in the toilets. Oh and for what its worth I agree with you that Catnap doesnt understand the game been telling him that for ages

I've not been bibey's biggest fan but credit where credit is due, he's surprised me this season with 3/4 very good performances.

That said, 3/4 very good performances and 20+ very average ones doesn't immediately warrant us given him an extended a deal and a pay rise.

Keep him on the hook and let him prove he's worth a new deal at the end of the season.

Back to back consistent performances is what he needs to perform, not 1 good 5 very average ones.

If he comes back into the side playing the same same level just before he got injured playing that standard of RL until the end of the season then he'll warrant a new deal.

Our front row problems. : Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:07 am

Isn`t Mossop currently on loan at Barrow, surely he`d prefer Wakey?

All credibility lost at that point, or was it at this point where by implication he suggests he does understand the game, or was it already lost with the authors name - you all decide.
