Front row : Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:09 pm  

Does anyone else think we look a little light in the front row, not in terms of numbers but in terms of experience. Wallace, Everett, Dollapi and Riley all very young for props, leaving Slyney and Cordoba, the latter I have general doubts about. If there was any money left in the kitty, for me getting someone like Carvell would be imperative.

If we're just talking about experience then Slyney and Cordoba are experienced pros, no issue there. Dollapi has had 2+ seasons at SL level I think, Riley has been around for a while at Wire too if I'm not mistaken so you could argue it's fairly well balanced.

Plus Harrison is playing 13 I guess, another experienced pro in the middle third

Can't see any issues regarding the Front Row

Re: Front row : Tue Nov 25, 2014 12:25 pm  

Greenwood, Krasniqi out. Cordoba, Riley in.

Wallace, Everett and Dollapi a year older and bigger. Slyney settled in as a leader. Lovegrove as an option.

I think our stocks at prop are slightly stronger than last year TBH. Of course, some risk attached to both Cordoba and Riley as newbies.

Bradford Props = Sidlow, Fleming, Clough, Tahroul, Davies, Bates + Walker, Ferguson, Pitts

Leigh Props = Wilkes, Barlow, Ostick, Emmitt, Hopkins, Walker, Fui Fui (poss), Beaumont

London props = Slyney, Cordoba, Wallace, Everett, Riley + Lovegrove

Leigh look strong. For me this is the area games are going to be won. We cant be bullied.

And Dollapi, who was the best forward on the pitch against Bradford at the end of the season.

London should try and pinch him from under their noses. If promotion to Super League is to be realistic, London cannot have a set of props inferior to Leigh's.
