So, Strength in Depth. Who could we sign/is available at this stage to bolster our front row in size and experience? It only takes a second for us to lose a valuable player and it could affect us seriously, unless youngsters are thrown in. I think we need a bit of experience. Whats available thats worthwhile? Cheers

Anthony Mullally from Leeds on loan is an option considered by the club. But seen as though we have Krasniqi and Haggerty sat in the stands struggling to get a game, do we need a new prop?

Yes if the person is a Mozza type at the end of his career: simply to show our younger props how to react while playing: some games need the older forward leading by example.

I think so, we have space left on the cap and surely everyone agrees that the front row position is where we are weakest.

I disagree. We have 5 props already so im not sure are we weak in that area at all? The days of an interchanging prop trundling up the middle for 3 or 4 plays is gone certainly the we play. We have props 2nd rowers and wingers all carrying the ball - would we really benefit from an older prop who would blow out of his ar*e after 20 mins and take an interchange up?

Well said Redrum - Totally agree as many of us have been saying for weeks. The style we are playing is not suitable for has been 18 stone plodders.

Says in RL weekly we've signed Burgess

anyone know where i can find details of how long players contracts are for? cheers

Seeing as though we've slipped back to oblivion and the injuries are starting to mount upon a very light and fragile squad in the first place, is there any potential signings or loanees out there lingering, sometimes there are hidden gems out there which may help to bolster our current squad. I know when the shet hits the fan and when things are going wrong its time to go back to basics or change personnel. I'm really flummoxed why we've loaned Haggarty if we ain't going to use him its simply wasting money if you ask me. With regards to positions Prop is a huge void we need to bolster aswell as Hooker with Lee now unavailable and out injured. The penalty count will rise hugely with Tomkins getting more minutes no doubt.

Mitch Achurch could well be playing for Salford next year.

In the meantime I suggest again that when Hauraki is back we move Ben MM into the middles. He is wasted on the edges running at smaller men he needs to be in the thick of the action making metres and sparring with other big lads. I said this at the start of the season and people now are realising.

Fair point regarding BMM Mario, i mentioned this last week too, he has the all the attributes for a prop and we need more from him. He's our main Man Achurch on the other hand is better than the Walnenuts, Joseph and Forster put together so its a step in the right direction.

I disagree, why would you waste our most devastating forward in the middle and in the arm wrestle. He can do more damage out wide, when utilized properly. Lui seems to be the man to get the best out of him and we have seriously missed him. If we need size in the middle then FFS use Haggerty, how Joseph s getting a game is beyond me.

He is wasted out wide where he is used as a dummy runner and is stood in the defensive line whilst our relatively small props are struggling to tackle the big men. He needs to be moved into the middle.

We need a forward for now not next year.

Losing Lui has been a bit like KR losing Kelly last year, we don't look the same team and don't seem to have a plan B.

"NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY PROFESSIONAL RUGBY CLUB OR NEWS PUBLICATION"

You're a lying bald headed despicable toad. Saw lots of PROPER Journalists in My part of the woods this week Your a Million miles from ever being able to call your self one,

I'm not associated with any professional rugby club or news publication. There are no lies.

Only my mate FLAT STANLEY speaks the truth. This a forum with rules. Please refer to AUP. Moderators on here should be doing a lot more.

Harsh, but fair.

And Mario's true identity is revealed...

I can't say I'm overly surprised.

The Lone Ranger Unmasked

Are we saying Marion and Stan are one and the same?

Sorry Stan i disagree, BMM out wide isn't working at the moment, the first few games it was a revelation however now its demised, we need his weight in the middle as he's simply wasted the way we're currently using him. If the utilization of BMM was working out wide i obviously wouldn't change it but ultimately at this moment it isn't. The middle needs bolstering and theres no better time to do it whilst Lui's unavailable to link with him. The keyword you used is ''when BMM utilized properly'', this is simply what we're not doing. Get him in at Prop getting more ball and ripping the yards up up the middle Haggerty and Joseph are misnomers.

[size=150Nope Miles out.[/size

so then, any chance of us signing a prop in the near future i think was the question?

Ha ha

I'd like to think so Mr Wolf but not holding my breath
