Well we're looking a decent team for 2019. Still could do with perhaps a little more steel in the forwards, but I feel we'll win more than we lose next year
See for me we could do with one more big prop I just don’t feel Kirk and Wilson are 100% ready not for championship imo
Kirk played championship in 2017. He will be 2 years older than that next season. Not the finished article but a real work horse. As well as him there's Crossley, Green, Peltier, Bustin and Magrin. Prop is one area we seem to have well covered imo.
Before he stepped up into the first team, big things were expected of Kirk. Trouble is, we hit the wall and he was forced to step up much sooner than he should have been. It would have been better for him to be spelled into the team slowly, with experienced players around him. Didn't work out that way but hopefully he can keep moving forward and improving as a player
It takes time for a prop to mature. He looked great in his last year of 19s but open age in the Championship is a massive step up in that position. Agree with Roofaldo. I don't expect him to really look the part for a year or two.
