I'm not sure it is a fitness thing so much as a strength thing.

We get knackered because we're getting battered, rather than the other way around. That's my theory anyway.

SO in a nutshell, we need some big strong props some thing we have needed all season if with the backs we now have we would be in the top 8s maybe 4th upwards

He has done what he was loaned to us to for, that is get first team experiance before returning to Wigan. He is a young inexperianced back rower with a lot of promise from an academy renowned for producing top players. He has done his best for us & thanks now lets move on & find a better player if we can.

As has been mentioned in this thread a few times. Greenwood is a better loanee than Burke imo.

Burke Ok, nothing special. Greenwood gets some forward momentum at times and has a half decent offload. Another season and with help from JP and he will be stellar. Nice lad too. Only negative is the odd flappy tackle.

Burke a definite get ridder and Greenwood a definite keeper.

My understanding is that Peacock is coming to us in a purely administrive position.

I keep seeing people saying that Peacock will improve this player or that player. I don't think his role contains any day to day player contact.

Peacock himself has stated many times in the past that he doesn't want to be a coach

Just wait until we have a front row crisis next season ...

Greg Burke did ok for us when we were desperately short earlier in the season. He probably didn't get a chance to shine in his preferred position(s) too often, as we had to use him many times as bit of utility/forward rotation through a lot of games. Ok player in his own right, just not what we really need(ed) this season tbh. Same can apply to a lot of our forwards imo.
