I'm yet to be convinced on Tet, albeit having seen way too few games to make a proper judgement. Has to have a better season this year though you would think.

Even with Tet up front we are straight into Thompson with any injuries, which worries me. It's almost certain our props will get injured at some point.

King was pretty useful at times last season and he's gone, not been replaced (unless you count Muizz, who is a different type of player).

It's a gamble for me, simply put. Our first choice side looks very handy on paper. We will need to ride our luck a bit.

Excellent news and well done Tom you deserved it.

Definitely good news.

In terms of our prop rota I think we might be ok, bad injuries excepted. being lighter than some sides might serve to move us away from five drives and a kick. Which, with the backs we have available could actually be a positive

Excellent news, lots more to come from the Tank in the coming years

The deal is too long for mine. He's spent a lot of time injured. Clearly one of our top 4 props, but it's risky whilst we're already a prop short IMO.

Its not a bad point to be fair, he has massive potential and hopefully he can fulfill it.

Mik and Tom are a wonderful combination in prospect. Both held their own against Aussie Schoolboys.

Mik is the physical specimen. He’s big, mobile, strong. Tom though has inner rage. You can’t coach that. Tom dominates. I think he will harden up in time and be a huge asset. He reminds me of a bigger Barrie.

Not saying Tom is small; he’s massive but he puts himself about with it too.

Best pair of props we’ve found at a similar age since I started watching Leeds.
