Mossop has been our best prop by a distance and would get in my England 17. He's a big lad that's only going to get bigger and he has a fantastic workrate. He never gets dominated in the tackle and his defence is exceptional.



He's very young for a prop but in time he could be very very good.

Paul Wood has easily been in the top 5 props in superleague this season.... probably warringtons best.



2169 meters from 307 carries

528 tackles

36 offloads



to put people like peacock in above him is bordering on the ridiculous.

I don't see him every week, and to be fair, up until this year, we always used to beat you, so that would have been a couple of the performances I'd seen him in.

When he signed for Hull I wondered if you would get the best out of him as a lot of people said he was too injury prone.

As I said, I was very impressed with him on Friday. Such a big man to drag down.

Missing tackles and dropping the ball were always Wood's downfall, how is he on those?



And Peacock has come up with 2 kicks in general play, you can't underestimate the impact of a forward with a kicking game.

21 missed tackles

17 errors

1 a game(ish)? Not awful, not great. Plays his part for Wire well though, does woody.

he has obviously been told to go out and play in an expansive way.... and yes it creates handling errors and missed tackles... but the majority of these have been when were 30/40 points up and throwing it around....



There have been plenty of times when he has started a try scoring moved by offloading under 4 or 5 tacklers... or he has broke through a tackle to offload and put someone clean through.

Understatement of the year.



Thats like saying Rupert Murdoch is not very popular right now.

He's still one of the best on his day, but even that is a million miles away from the rampaging prop that battered defences apart 3/4 years ago. He should hang up his Rep boots and concentrate on giving his best for Leeds.

Have you ever considered a career writing fiction novels?

Can't say I have.

He was a class act in his day but for me he has past it now.



There are better props in our game now and as a few have previously mentioned Mossop is a very good player who will shine for England in the near future.
