Quote Wigg'n="Wigg'n"It doesn't really make for pretty reading tbh.
Basically our props get through at least 10% less work (Carries+Tackles) than Wire's, as an average. Our props have also made the same amount of errors despite 32% less carries with the ball. Below is just props from both teams.

Warrington 492 96% 313 2,365 7.6 9 7
Wigan 518 92% 213 1,595 7.5 9 9[/code
They also have McGuire and Dudson to come into their pack.
Looking more into it, basically our backrow and centres pick up all of the slack from our props. Wingers' workrate is fairly equal.'"
These stats are very predictable though. Every season I think "surely Wigan will throw some cap at a top class prop" and every season it's a relief they don't.
Some of the recruitment decisions at Wigan defy belief sometimes IMO - I'd be so annoyed as a Wigan fan as it is so obvious.
