I would very much think Shaw is in the frame, but really we need 6 props.
I wouldn't necessarily take him if we had other options to recruit someone permanently.

Think we have 8 who can play prop. 7 I’d say are actual props.

Mckmeeken
Atoni
Rodwell
Uele
Vagana
Shaw
Lingard
Cozza

They can play there but we should have 6 who play there without disrupting other positions.
Of course Vagana could be the 6th but I think we are trying to make him a SR so he should be focusing on that first.
Lingard is too young for now. He's an occasional player for me till he develops.
Cozza no. He should only be cover. We don't have enough cover at 13.

Vagana is a prop but we seem to be trying him more at second row. I think he will play on bench for us as a second row and come on for impact after 55/60. But he is a prop and certainly good enough and big enough to play there. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

Shaw and Lingard are there if we start to struggle with injuries. At least we have options.

13 is an area we are short in, I’m curious who will be favourite to spell with Pitts in the 17. I think it could possibly be Hood for final 20.

That's pretty much what I've just said

But we need another prop if we don't want to move Vagzna from second row, nove Cozza from 13 or play a kid who isn't ready for a full season.

If we were looking at bringing someone in, I'd be looking at a 13. Didn't think Cozza had a partivularly good game on Boxing Day, if I'm honest. I would say he is probably, the weak link in our pack if we have one
