Not that upset that Hickey has gone. I would much rather keep Tongia than Hickey.

Now that Hickey has gone we need at least another 2 props.

Have James and Dowes signed? We also have Wilkes and Masselot!

Had Olie Wilkes to that list

The very least.

Glad to get shut of him. Hope he wastes their time as much as he did ours

Johnson is not and out and out prop too light

Good riddance. It was possibly Hickeys arrival that cost Mr Kear a chance at staying here.
THE worst signing in the last 25 years, bar none !

Thought Masselot was a Loose Forward, he's certainly not a prop

Wrong, his wife couldn't settle - nothing to do with an offer from the Broncos which as far as I'm aware came later and was for less cash, and I'll add a FACT onto that one because I know it to be true. It's not a dig at him, it's a big life adjustment moving halfway round the world and some can't make it. It surprises me how many Aussies do settle.

we bought that french half back fearing he would come to haunt us and he's no where to be seen

I'll take the risk, what I do fear is that quins will never want to do business again with us after this deal

sorry Quins

We should have sent him to Huddersfield!

Is 2 props to match is weight

who cares!!!!....6,7,13,27,45,...who gives a s**t anymore!?

mr lightweight!!

that will not be a problem as with Hickey going we have over stocked on pies

Must admit this offloading of Hickey increases my estimations of Mr Agar. Since (I believe) Hickey was on a 2 yr deal, did we get anything for him?

a thank you

Gone???

Didn't know he had arrived!

The problem being is, how do we recoup the loss in catering on match days now Jarrod won't have his usual Feast

'Hickey said: "I'm really excited to be heading to London to play my rugby down there next season. It's a big move for me and I am looking forward to a [ubig year[/u next year."

Are there more buffets and eateries down there??????????

I'm not so much interested in his departure but I am in replacement.

Hope to hear Isaac John signing and a prop of some quality. With a few more solid players.

Would imagine hickey would have been a high earner at WTW.

We need more than one prop imo

Chances are, we're probably paying Quins the difference between his contract with us and his contract with them. It frees up a quota space, though, and I'd like to hope we won't make the same mistake again.

Do these guys actually have to undergo medicals and pass fitness tests before they sign for a team?

i will tell you mate if i was lining up against these boys in the front row next year, i would honestly be happy. no size , no physical presence to speak of. . apart from johnson who imo is a second row and is wasted at prop. dowes nice guy but no better than anything you have got, probably another second rower. where is the grunt and aggression going to come from? you need a couple of props with some weight, power and aggression making the hard yards. leave the fancy stuff to the show ponies. i'd agree with you. get korki signed and another impact prop

From what I've been told, we would sign Korki, just not for the kind of money he thinks he's worth. His expectations may have been raised by his time at Salford/Cas/Hudds.

I'm confident we'll get Amor for next season, and we seem to be forgetting about Wilkes.

That said, I'd still like to see us sign up one more prop; ideally, a big beast, to add some grunt and power to the pack.
