So are we going to go into the season with 3 props? Korki , King and Gledhill?? If so we are in big trouble! Whats going on questions need to be asked. Released moore due to salary cap restrictions. Tesco workers are on more than this current squad whats going on???

Which Tesco workers? Trolley pushers? Till operatives? Warehouse workers? Produce managers? Deputy managers? Store managers? Area managers?

I think we will hear about the recruitment of a new prop shortly, i heard we were just waiting upon the paperwork to be completed so i would imagine that everything will be sorted in the new year when all the offices open back up again.

I do agree that we will still be short of a prop but i guess that mean Hendo may play prop if needed.

OMFG! Don't get me wrong, but starting with a prop down - what kind of statement of intent is that for the season? Get it sorted Kear.

Lets face it, no-one wants to sign for us because most people believe that we wont have Super League status after the coming season. The noise from the club regarding plan B is deafening. Dont really see how we can plan our next franshise application when we dont know where we will be playing from and for how long.

Excuse me for being stupid but what part of this is difficult to understand.


WE HAVE NO MONEY!!


Yes, the squad is cheap but it's all we can afford, unless someone out there has some money to put in, and given all attempts to find them have so far failed, what do we do???

What has happened to Kyle Bibb? Thought he looked a good prospect in his loan spell at Rovers in 2009.

Not even good enough for our reserves!

Current situation is a joke, 2 experienced recognised props we are going to get slaughtered come Feb!

Yes we're skint, even more so than you probably realise. But why assemble a squad with more fullbacks than props?

you are to rugby knowledge what crippin and shipman are to doctory as your menzies topic illustrates moore wanted to go total breakdown in relations why dont you get in shape you could play prop if you toned up a little judging by your profile photo

Its not often I agree with you ngbc, but I think we are up the creek with only 3 props. Even with the addition of one more prop will still look pretty light.. Bring back Ricky Bibey and ask James Stosic to brush up on his Macedonian for his oral exam!

Rumoured to be one coming in shortly and hopefully another march/April time.
Rumoured!!icon_wink.gif

We clearly have limited money to spend, so we should have ensured that we had enough props when we were planning signings before. As someone else has said whats the point of having a load of hookers and full backs, we aren't going to win games if the pack gets outmuscled.

Yet another strange JK decision.

I hope these Rumours become true, however I have heard that March/April one and think its a weird type of deal?

Fully agree. However John Kear probably thought the signing of a certain Saints second rower was the answer to our front row issues.

Not content with this, he thought he'd approach Mike Burnett, another second rower, with the view of using him at prop!

Isn't March/April normally the time of year we offload our better players and then sign nobody or dross to replace them ?

ok lets see, its a monkey and we are paying him in bananas?

his names fyffe from clyde?
or even better for you older viewers, clyde from fife?

Johnson will share prop duties with Gledhill

johnson has been signed as a prop, even though he can play second row and loose.

As far as I am aware gledhill is to have an operation on his neck and is doubful for the start of the season.

Kin hell chappers! You on the sherry a bit early??

Probably the ex Eddie stobart drivers they took on when they bought most of the company out.

your right

Kear will use Hendo as a prop as per. Clueless.

well he used atkins as one,
