I guess at least he isn't far off. Has there been an update on Max Simpson and Holroyd?

Hudson's return scheduled for the hunslet game so SL minutes still some way off yet I'd think.

Probably, but unless we get more injuries to Props, that should work out fine. He can gain minutes working his way back in reserves and perhaps a Championship loan before we would "need" him.

I'm hoping Holroyd can get back to his early 23 form a bit of a throw back in terms of his aggressive style which is much needed re Hudson who knows he might be good or dud Cas seemingly happy to let him go?

If that's going to happen do you think Tom will move into Sam's place and Sam into Tom's?

Interesting comments from RS. They really do rate Max Simpson. Jack Smith looks decent too and we have others coming through.

Looks like Holroyd has not had a pre-season basically, that’s not great. I can see Goudemand getting early game time this year.

Looks like our props for first game will be Oledzki Sangare and Goudemand.

Hmmm it's concerning for sure.. always seems to be one of our props every year

With no lisone for the first 2 and now Holroyd choices are very limited.

This is a recurring problem with our prop rotation, we forever seem to be short. Tom Holroyd is a very good player, and will get even better, but he carrys a significant injury risk. For me this needs to be compensated for when building our squads, less undersized 'middles', more traditional props

Before playing a competitive game we're down to just Oledzki, Sangare and a small 'middle'

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Jan 27, 2024 8:45 am  

Oledszki, sangare, Goudemand and probably TNW to start the season is really concerning and was something that was feared when the squad was finalised. Having Holroyd and sangare considered in the first 4 means there's still so much to do in that area. Hope it doesn't hold us back all year.
