Got a head-knock after 28 minutes and never came back on. Didn't do anything wrong before that.

Just rewatching Lebanon vs Ireland.

Kalache started very solid. Looks like a Whitbread type prop with a huge engine and good quick plays.

Towering big forward Rahme looks to be having a good game. He can play 13 and prop forward. Nice hit ups and a decent offload leading to Lebanons first try.

Not sure how permits work for these players but there’s certainly some talent in the Lebanon forwards worth a look.

Rumours saying that Lisone partner who’s a good ladies player is joining Leeds too.

That maybe how they’ve afforded him if they’ve also offered her a good deal. Would womens rugby count on the cap?

Seems Leeds have whipped in there and one upped us.

Didn’t really do much to write home about then went off fairly early never to return.

Khalil rahme was the stand out prop for me. Had a great game

He was good and can play prop and 13.

He seems to be a free agent too. Reality is we may need to punt on one or two but there’s some handy looking players and he’s one of them. To be able to cover 13 is also a bonus.

I didn’t see it that way tbh.

I saw him drive in well and more crucially get quick play of the balls which is a positive in todays fast paced game to get on the front foot. I accept he didn’t get many post contact metres today though but he only got dominated in the one challenge and then the unfortunate head knock.

Not as good as his first hit out that was impressing but he may be worth a look. We still need a prop who can rack up some metres post contact though as he’s not that type of prop.

Interesting how people have different opinions on players. Perhaps they should take this into account when criticising the club's recruitment. Obviously therefore there will be criticism whoever we sign , unless it's an absolute top grade player, which we cannot afford. No win situation.
