Quote ="Newton-Le-willows-Warrior"Because you know what you are going to get with Eamon, he would run through a brick wall and would continue running through a brick wall all day for us. That heart of a lion is what makes him the player he is and he is exactly what we needed last week. And as someone has already pointed out, we all saw how Eamon stood up against morley in morleys first game for wire! Give me Eamon O'Carroll, a genuine workhorse, over Paul Prescott any day of the week. Although saying that Prekky has definately improved over the last 2 months.'"
It was pointed out to me half way through last season to watch O Carroll, and 95% of the time it takes ONE defender to put him down, correct, he will run all day and has a big heart, but his size lets him down, he takes absoulutely nothing out of the opposition, one tackle on morley doesnt make him a superstar. Prescott IMO is a far better prop forward, 2-3 men to put him down every time, leaving holes in the defence and tiring the other forwards.
