Bit harsh to describe Cooper as just 'steady'.

Agree, hill is also a very good prop. Morleys don't grow on trees unfortunately. I think if we do get one of the NRL props we are linked with and amor as well we will have addressed our major playing personnel problem. Just the bigger issue of the playing style to deal with now.

Pat Poasa anyone? Now that was big!

I remember Dave Cotton (Frans brother) and Dave King. Both really big units, but lacking the mongrel factor that turns good props into great props.

dave king was never a prop though, he was a back row that we stuck in the middle,

It’s sad that in a team containing Ratchford, Austin, Widdop and Clark my primary concern going into the season is whether we will be entertained and try to play attacking rugby.

That's a new thread right there...

Are Wire too soft?

In fact could this be the first off season that nobody suggests us signing Gareth Hock to give us more 'mongrel' or something.

Every year he is usually on the market and someone wants us to sign him.

That mantle has been taken by Eddie Battye.

Do we expect an announcement next week, given the international period had now finished?

Or has Steve Price got a bloke from the North Pole lined up, dressed in red with a white beard and a giant sack to be ready for pre-season after Christmas Day

With how long it's taken already i'm not holding out for any announcement any time soon.
