A great physical old school prop.

In reality we are not just one prop short at the moment we are 2 or 3 props short.

James Graham is the only guy we have that looks like an international for us at the moment.

Hargreaves is a good worker but is not good enough to be a number 2 prop. Good squad fodder.

Maurie has lacked his impact this season. He would benefit from a good signing to take the workload off him if he is expected to recover some form.

Cayless seems to have one foot on the plane back home.

Frodsham looks good but is a year off being strong enough to play week in week out.

Emmitt and Yate are untried.

Tony P and Clough are second rows who are poorly used as props.

Shrek is a good signing in my eyes.

maurie has possibly been our best prop recently. Good go forward and playing longer stints than he is used to. Clough and tony p can cover prop no problem i dont know why you say poorly. O meley is overrated in my opinion but does like to mix it up which i think we could with.

I know back in 2004ish he was very highly rated, but I think his wage demands shot up (if i'm not mistaken) when he hawked himself around. If he's still making those demands and not performing the same, then steer clear.

I think a good, without being great prop would suffice and not cost us the earth. I'm a big fan of L Burgess, but would assume he's not available. What's Mace the Ace up to these days? It would mean releasing Hargreaves though for squad space (don't tell ski). When's his contract up?

Get him signed. An awesome player!

Jeez, I thought we'd signed one then, you mistitling fools had me excited.

Anyway, O'Meley seems like just another anonymous NRL random. If he's struggling with the NRL, we certainly don't want to take him on do we.

He's a player of some pedigree, although I'm not sure if he's still pushing for rep honours after dramatically bursting onto the scene a few years back.

A player of some pedigee who's struggling to cope with the speed of the play the balls in the NRL

So is he really out of shape like Barry Ward?

But they're trying to speed up the play of the ball down under, whereas we're trying to slow it down, I think.

The next Spud Carroll, perhaps

That'd be nice but if he leaves the bulls i think he would join his brothers at leeds
