I agree, and I guess it depends on what potential they see in others. I'm not up to date on the kids coming through but the next one in line will make a difference to the decisions of players like Titus.
I wouldn't be offended if we kept him but there is only so long you can do that.

Another issue really, is that a club like ours cannot afford the game time to allow prop forwards to mature, we need them to hit the road running and it's unfair on players like Titus. In the old days they would be in the A team to see if/when they were ready to step up, but of course, they were part time players then, who got paid, when they played.
I can see the problem and I'm pleased I don't have to sort it.

In that regard all current fringe players are unlucky. Just as the A team set up was being revived Corona happens. That and loans would have been his training ground. For me the A team is the bridge for players like Titus. Let them get paid in the lower division whilst learning but when they are getting close filter them through the A team for first team duty. It’s a shame but I think that will be lost for a while.

Its a difficult position for a club to be in. We need to develop young player but like you say props generally take longer tk be available for first team selection and championship sides generally woul prefer to have the pick of the older prop forward looking to take a step down.
In my view a good prop remains a good prop and can be spotted at a younger age

Mostly but some do get missed or take way longer than expected. FWIW and from what I’ve seen of Titus he may be one of those ie could be a useful player eventually but it’s how long that’s the tricky bit.
