Who were our 6 props when we won the treble?

Three of them were Jamie Peacock... we don’t have anyone even approaching that now.

I'd settle for one kylie right now.

I thought achurch had already left (I'll stand corrected if wrong), but either way, to suggest achurch and/or delaney were 'recognised props'is ridiculous. That like saying ferres,smith,dondalson thompson are 'recognised props .

I'm not suggesting that Achurch and Delaney were recognised props they covered for us when we needed them too for injury etc our recognised props were Leuluai, Peacock, Cuthbertson, Singleton and Garbutt and I'm saying B.Thompson and Donaldson would be used as cover middle men if we needed them never stated any of them were recognised props. And Achurch left in 2016 btw.

To suggest Achurch was a Super League player, never mind a prop, is ridiculous

In our current squad we have

Seumanufagai
Prior
Oldezki
Holroyd
Cuthbertson ( who has just left)

At the moment we have Seumanufagai whose like our Kylie a solid Pacific islander prop, Prior is our sort of JP very professional and not afraid of doing the solid hard graft, Oldezki is like our Singleton our younger prop who can make a bit of an impact but Oldezki is bigger than Singleton and a bit more explosive as well. We have Holroyd who's our other young player. We need to replace Cuthbo with some of a bit of quality and some one of the Garbutt mold ( just not the injury record). And if we can we need to try and get another middle man to help with rotation if not and we only bring in 1 Prop this off season the likes of B.Thompson and Donaldson can help cover if we are down on props.

When you look at it on paper we really are a bit small and light in the prop department. Major priority sorting that if we are to get into the top 4 or higher which we should absolutely be aiming for now.

We've been light for years in my opinion (aside from the treble year) it was just masked by the quality of kylie and peacock.

What are you on about nobody is on about players ability we all know Achurch was a failed signing. Another poster asked the question about our pack in 2015 when we won treble and I simply answered it, if you read my post correctly I said he and Delaney covered there. Never said Achurch should have got Man of Steel because he can play prop.
