pedantic mode... little finger dislocated and did 60 mins after having it put back in...end of pedantic mode.

I'm happy to be corrected on the detail, but the point remains.

Dont think you read the post I was replying to I was commenting that James is younger than Andy Raleigh but from what I ve seen thats the only bit he beats Andy on. HTH

From what I have seen from Andy Raleigh over the years he will prove to be a good signing for us at Wakey but hes no prop the worry is Agar gave him the props shirt

Hope to hell we are not over the cap because that means no props never a Korki fan but think we should have given him another season now

Ah I see - apologies for the misunderstanding.

I must have been drunk when I posted that - two corrections have rendered it utterly pointless; rather than delete it however, I'll leave it in-situ as a warning against drunk posting.

Talking to a fax player last nite and he knows nowt about james going there

I dont think the coaching staff or directors at clubs would contact all the squad to say "we might be signing Matt James on loan....but keep it to yourselves for now"

This player they would

why ?

Spoken to a member of the Halifax coaching staff this morning,the clubs have agreed a loan deal but the player's agent is holding up the deal !

If that's true, I hope we have another prop lined up, otherwise we're going into SL looking distinctly lightweight.

Anyone keep Korki's number?!

its being addressed

Somebody being lined up?

Korki would have done us 1 more year. Not saying hes the best prop in the World but he would have done us a job for a extra year.

I agree he would of done. Probably a below average job. Again.

Amor, Johnson, Wilkes, Raliegh, James and Spiers down as props. I don't get the panic, but this is Trinity and if some of our fans didn't have something to worry about real or imagined they would be gutted.

The days of heavy 29+20 props are over with the reduction in the interchange. So generally younger, lighter, fitter and mobile props are the order of the day. I reckon we need one more prop but i won't lose any sleep if we don't find one. What we do have is plenty of utility in the pack with a number of player who can cover more than one position. It's also time to give Spiers a chance this seasonor what's the point in bringing players through.

What we now have is a group of potential play makers, something that destroyed us last year and proved sheer effort alone is not enough.

I take your point, but to me we still look a bit lightweight - one more big prop with a bit of grunt would be a welcome addition.

I do accept however that at this stage in the off-season, there are probably no players available who fit the bill.

Is "grunt" the new buzzword? Every man and their dog is using it. Can I add it to such timeless classics as "behind the 8 ball"?...

I'll call your "behind the 8 ball" and raise you a "kick on" as in, "we need to kick on from that performance."

I'll meet your 8ball and kick on, and raise you Stevos "second stanza"!!!!

Aaaaay there'll be some grunt behind the 8 ball in the second stanza...kick on!!

Couldnt big Ali be converted into a ball handling prop?
Looking at his height n weight stats he is certainly big enough.

Too busted though - he's injury prone as it is.

I'd rather use his skills with ball than weight in the middle of the field.
He needs to break the line out wide and give our runners a chance.

and well done all, that gave me a chuckle
