What we urgently need instead is to have our senior props bellyaching all over twitter along with nuisance phone calls immediately prior to a SL fixture (that's when they're not dying their hair) whilst making prize prats of themselves in the process.

If we're going for the retro look, and a prop who could hand out a hard slap, then I think we should be considering a phone call to Trevor Skerrett.

Apparently Ferriol is out of contract... Not that I'm advocating us signing him.

I heard he was retiriing. How old is he?

Just what our pack needs though I'd love us to get Casty (unlikely) as I think he's the form prop in the comp this year.

I'll have to speak to Drago and get the low down.

What we don't need are props that struggle to retain the ball in contact - pity Barry strugled to get his thumb round the ball

Maybe our current props could do with a bit of coaching from an ex-prop.
And maybe we need an ex-hooker on the staff to sort out our hooking role.
