That are available on a short two week loan?

I don't know, but don't be surprised if people are sceptical of a player that can't get a game at Wakefield. It's hardly the extreme you mention.

I was being a little hyperbolic - not serious.

Fact is we have got one fit prop, he's available and will do a job till we get some players back, it's not one to get worked up about either way.

I think its fine for two weeks. If he doesn't get banned game 1 then he will do more than Tetevano.

Highlights how many problems we have in the font Row ,though

Don't get me wrong we need a new prop or two but what it does highlight is how stupid our current props are.

Tetevano
Prior
Mustaffa
Holroyd

All banned

I`m sure Yusuf played against us in the BD friendly and he was quite good.
Either that or I am mistaking him for someone else.

I saw him play for Sheffield a few weeks back and he was impressive. Think he might surprise a few.

Even if you leave Muizz out of it given he's not a first team prop, the others have racked up 25 games ( and counting) between them. Knock that down to 12 games and we'd be in the play off places, no question about it. But we aren't and all four are currently banned, so we should be welcoming the lad from Wakefield. Discipline has been shambolic this year, and improving it needs to be the number one focus for 2023.

The club made a decision to run at least 1 prop short at the start of the year. Mik is the only one not to let the club down so far this year. I hope the kid comes in and does well.

Shocking how far leeds have fallen as a club when they have to sign a wakefield 2nd teamer on loan, surely theres an acadmey player you can play?

Props Aren't exactly known for their cunning TBF.
Prior must be retiring soon,Tet has literally spent more games suspended than played I think?.
Holroyd has Promise,don't know enough to comment on Mustaffa.

What we need and what we can realistically do are very different but we badly need a pack leader and a battering ram. Without that fixing for next season we will be right back here again.

That said, the disciplinary panel is so inconsistent on who gets called up and who doesnt (for similar rules infractions) it's literally pot luck,just hope it's a clean sheet player and not a Bentley otherwise you're going to cop the maximum and appeals make it worse.
