if what Antilla is saying is correct, it narrows it down to:

Leeds
Richard Moore
Ian Kirke
Ryan Bailey
Darrell Griffin

Huddersfield
Dale Furguson
Keith Mason

St Helens
Alex Walmsley

Hull FC
Jay Pitts

Dear me, I know the club are skint members, however, that list is a bit like the contents of a tin of Quality Streets in the middle of January.

connections. Plus they've already announced their squad numbers.

I'd be very surprised

I would question whether some of the above are any better than we have let go - why would we want Ferguson back - do we need another second row forward? and I would also question whether the others would want to come knowing that they would not be an automatic first choice prop.

Quality wise I would be inclined to agree.
Contract terms and wages may have some baring on the decision too.

Re: Prop- Any ideas? : Mon Dec 10, 2012 4:59 pm  

like a fellow supporter said earlier, Steve Nash has bags of potential!!!

.....If that refers to filling bags in the Asda at Durkar, obviously.

But yeah, Leeds squad finalised. Plus nobody would be a squad player at Leeds to become a squad filler at Wakefield. Or anywhere else for that matter

Squad numbers mean bugger all mate. For example we signed Sykes and Smith throughout the season.

Looks likely to be a prop whose coming towards the end of a contract and being told that it won't be renewed possibly or young one who is not going to get a look in? WTW may be trying to tempt them with a 2 year deal?

1. Moore didn't feature much for Leeds last season and in last year of contract isn't he?
2. Kirke seems to be favoured although has only 1 year left on his contract so could be him?
3. Josh Bowden is in Hull papers and its suggested that he may struggle to get a much of a look in behind 5 props there so looking for Super League experience through his ex-coach?
4. Mason in contract dispute with Huddersfield but once sorted who knows? I don't trust press releases or what is openly said by R.A.

Agree, just because someones been given a squad number doesn't mean they wouldn't take an offer from another club especially if it's for a longer contract, on similar or better money.

Out of the names banded about there's one or two I think could do a good job for us week in week out and some of the other names are no better than James.

Kirke bailey and griffin would all be in our first 17. I know I'm in a huge minority but I'd live bailey at wakey, said this to my mate at the play off game at headingley. He didn't share my views and I suspect a good 90% on here won't either!

Yep those 3 and Mason would go well for us, can't see Bailey leaving Leeds mind but if he did I'd have him here, no doubt he's a first class turd but at least he'd be our turd if he came here.

Atilla's birdy is not the same one I listen to!

I've had two names - and one of them doesn't fit the description.

I'm sure we may play for both but only end with one - we only need one IMO!
