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?

In a previous life he might well have played 2nd row.

But he's now a prop in my eyes and a bloody good one at that.

Fair point, but I reckon he will play both for us. One thing, Powell knows the player better than any of us.

No, again he’s played second row this season for Catalans as well as prop. He is very good in both positions.

Because you say "No" does that make it factual?

He's a prop for me. Plays better at prop in my opinion. Played international rugby league as a prop. Was announced by the club when we signed him as a prop.

I'm willing to bet he's played prop alot more than 2nd row in the last couple of seasons

But Catalan named him at 8 in their squad so clearly their original intention.

I had a look through the games.
He's played a lot more second row than I thought.
More as a middle with both prop and LF but enough second row to say it was a choice not just an emergency.

Yes it is factual that he has played second row this season.

You never said he played prop more than second row. Read back and you’ll see you said he’s a prop and indicating he’s played second row in a previous life. I’ve seen him for Catalans play second row this season. I am saying he can play both well and I know that to be true because it’s been on live tv this season prior to his injury.

Don’t change the goalposts. I never said he hadn’t done played prop more than second row did I? Or are you now just making things up I didn’t say to try and make yourself right about a comment I never made

I’m not trying to say he’s one or the other. I’ve seen him play both recently and he’s played both very well.

I’m just pleased we are getting him because I really rate him highly at prop and on the edges.

We will have a pretty big pack if we play him and Storton in the second row.
I'm looking forward to seeing how we go.

I think he’ll maybe play both depending on the opposition or tactics.

It’s got potential to be a big set of forwards for sure. Isn’t Mckmeeken about 6ft 6?
