Quote ="The Avenger"When we’re signing cast off Championship standard props and letting someone like Yusuf go out on loan when we are in a front row crisis then it signals where he is in the pecking order, that’s why the writing was on the wall.'"
Who's the cast off championship prop you mention out of interest?
Don't see an issue with it all personally?
It certainly doesn't seem to have done him any harm going on loan to Leeds? At that time we weren't desperate for props...in the 2 games he missed...HKR (a) and Saints (h) we fielded Fifita, Arona, Whitbread and Bowden in both games so weren't desperate by any means....maybe the thinking was trying to do Leeds a favour and helping them over in Toulouse when they were decimated by injuries...never came off because they didn't play him...
He's come back from that loan though and played in 3 of the 4 games since so even if he had felt he'd fell down the pecking order a bit he's responded in the right way and gone back up it...that's how it works...we don't know if he was coming up short in training etc...WP is the man who makes the decisions and like with Tanginoa earlier in the season he's shown no-one is above being dropped.
He's been offered a contract for next season...that was confirmed just after he came back from the loan...maybe 3-4 weeks on and his improved performances and our safer position might mean an improved offer?
