I don't see the problem. All the experts from other clubs said he was injury prone and would only play about 10 games. His stats are o.k.

Wigan don't rely on our props making big metres, but they expect them to be good defensively.

Mossop and our props do that.

Rouges I beg to differ on this emphasise on Wigan using the backs to clear the line, if as has been seen this season this reliance on the backs to clear the line as meant that a lot of times we have struggled to get to our own forty and if a bad kick comes in on the 5th it means the opposition team is on the front foot straight away.

This means that the opposition often seem to have 2/3 tackles left when they get to the Wigan 25, your props are not going to help much when the other team have the chance of swinging it wide for a couple of tackles.

Sarge this last few weeks as almost seemed to be taking the ball up a couple of times in each set when in our own half, the wingers have also done a shift as well, and in my opinion Joel less so ( Sarge does twice the work that Joel does trying to clear the line)

If that is the sole expectation at Wigan for our props then we really are stuffed.

To name one example from the stats you provide, Mossop has made 182 carries to 338 from Alex Walmsley and 1200 metres to 2500 metres from Walmsley.

And regardless of tackles 'completed', do you rate Mossop as a good defender? Poor techinque and poor positioning for me. Those combined with poor fitness, a recipe for disaster.
