Really?
Going from the table last year I totally agree on Wigan, they have a huge pack and a set of impressive front row players. But I would say the squad is unbalanced, if they get an injury or two in the backs then the replacements aren’t great.
Saints front row options is 33 year old walmsley, 25 year old matty lees, 32 year old Paasi coming off a huge injury , 19 year old George Delaney, Mata’utia covering prop, maybe Knowles and wingfield coving prop.
Catalans - taukeiaho who probably leaves, sims covering prop, seguier seems a backfow now, scimone played 3 games, satae great in short burst, navarette not convinced, mcmeeken, deazaria, Bousquet. So a fair number, a lot who aren’t traditional props and I wouldn’t say significantly stronger than what we have.
It’s the same for any team, take the best two props from saints, Catalans or any other team bar Wigan and you are going to struggle a bit.

Walters will be playing back row so it's not really a comparison.

Different positions this year, and even when Walters played prop last year, he and Holroyd are very different types of player.

Holroyd needs a couple more years on him. He is a big aggressive lad who needs a bit of maturity to fulfil his potential - and more robustness to injury.

I’ve been critical of Bentley but I do hope he shows us more of his promise this season. He does have some quality but we’ll see if he can cement a starting spot.

This is the point about our prop roster Jim.
We don't have that luxury with Holroyd.
He's now one of our senior props, so we need him fit and playing every week.

we seem overstocked in yhe back row and light at prop.
similar to under agar who just preferred 'middles'.
