Why has everyone got Macmeeken down as a prop when he is a SR? He's played prop but I would personally call him a backrower.

Stockton good signing.


Because this year he’s begun the transition toward the front row and next year he’ll be a year older. He’s also been selected by England as a front rower and I’m sure he’ll want to continue to press his claim for the national team in the position that Wane sees him playing.

Because for the last season and a half he's played prop with great success. Including England

Mike McMeeken has caught my eye as a prop in a way he never quite did in the second row.Massive signing.

I’ve seen him play prop and second row this season and he’s been best forward on the pitch in both.

I’m more than happy to see him in second row. He could probably fill the left second row spot with TJ on the edge.

Either way he’s a very good player in both.

Not strictly true, he’s featured at second row this season a number of times. He plays both equally as well.

The question was, why do people think of him as a prop.
He's number 8 in the squad and plays prop. That's why I think of him as prop.
If he's played second row too then fine. But I still see him as a prop. And clearly Catalan did too.

Was just saying he hadn’t just played prop last 18 months. He’s played both and what I’ve seen been best forward on the pitch in both positions.

We could see him line up any but it all depends on who else we sign and what Powell wants ultimately.

I’ve been impressed with him at prop and SR on tv so I’m not bothered personally. I’m just happy we’ve signed him.

I don’t think it matters much what he is. He can play both to a very high standard.

I get that but you can’t just bin ten seasons in the back row, at the very least he is both. To me personally he’s a SR playing at prop. Either way it hardly matters as he plays both well and as Powell says he wants players who are versatile.

That's just how I see him now.
I don't see him quite as mobile as he used to be.

How long did it take for Peacock or Morley to be regarded as props?
