If Briscoe is offered a new deal that it will be on reduced terms so i would think there's a good chance he'll move on.I knew we had a lot off contract come the end of 2022 but didnt realise it was 14 players!

I believe Tom is now a fully qualified doctor and is working behind the scenes with the club too, it wouldn’t be a surprise to me if he moved into that position in a few years.

Doctor in the PhD sense - from his linked in page "Now I’m completing a PhD in sports physiology and performance."

Does it include getting off the floor to catch kicks? Sorry Tom, couldn’t resist…

Agar pretty much ruling out anymore recruitment, so the extra prop looks on the back-burner. Really need Cam Smith to step as a starting 13 and let the Tetavano's and Prior's be props.

Zane definitely. Is there anyone in the Championship worth a go? Cheap wage and if anything just to provide cover if we've got injuries in the forward pack.

I'd imagine that's down to the lack of availability for the right money... fingers crossed the props stay major injury free..

I think playing Tetevano and Mik as our starting props and having Prior Holroyd as the bench rotation we should be okay, cam smith/Bentley running at 13 and Muizz and Thompson as backup props we might be okay

Agreed, although would switch Zane to come off the bench. Think he'd add some spark, whereas Prior is a steady starter.

Yeah great idea, Zane coming on against some tired bodies could really make him explosive

I would have gone for Harrison who could have filled that spot.
And I still think Matango could do that as well.
But if Thompson could play like he did against Saints then we are ok.
