Couldn't we have both? Magoulias starting 13 and Philbin off the bench for impact in the back row or even second row? I just think Philbin would be used better a little wider in the field really.
Philbin played 2nd row for all his Warrington Academy career scoring a lot of tries.
Ironically his brother played prop in the same team, but he was never going to make it as a 1st team player.
The problem in our current 2nd row is that Powell has brought Holmes with him from Castleford on a 3 year deal, and will be very reluctant to drop him, even though his form has been poor up to the Saints game, where he seemed to find his feet at last.
Currie is the other 2nd row. I have been a big fan of Ben Currie, but he seems to get tackled too easily this season and his defence hasn`t been great. Maybe when we have some bigger props in the team, then he will have a better season? I also wonder as a senior player, is he influenced by team mates who dislike the changes being made by Powell?
Only time will tell.
