That's why we rum a 23s
A loan for some may be the only way the cap will work
On signings I think were short of a prop looking at the other big teams around us. Think we've shown the way in regards to having a dominant pack and they're looking to close the gap
Wire wigan n saints especially look like running with 6 plus props

Out and out props we have Taylor, Watts, Green, Bowden, Osborne and Matongo. Ellis and Pritchard (and Fash?) could also play there if we were desperate.

Disappointed to hear the rumours of Watts possibly leaving.
I thought the last 12 games he was the cornerstone of our pack when some were looking a bit jaded. We lose him him it will be a major loss.
I was hoping he might get a call up in Bennetts squad.

So much for hope.

Don't think there is anything in this, when he is OOC at the end of next season then he may move, but I fully expect him tube at Hull next year.

Earlier on in the season he commented that he wants to stay at Hull for years like Yeaman has.

I really hope that is the case.

That's a terrible counter to my post..
Fash Osbourne and matongo have viritually no games between them. Thompson is a very niche thing for us in that he's NOT a prop. Sometimes he works there sometimes it doesn't. If our marquee player and earner and 1of the best regarded 2nd rows finds himself playing dead centre field tackling and carting cos we've a few injuries we need our heads looking at. Ellis plays 3rd prop tbf as most teams do so u need 5 generally on a match day when all are fit. We have 5 and 3 kids unproven at this level

Wigan..
Mossop
Clubb
Flower
Sutton
Navarett
Tautai
Nuasala
O loughlin (3rd prop or a ball handler)

Saints..
Amor
Walmsley
Douglas
LLMS
Thompson
Richards
And in market for fafita AND walker apparently

Wire..
Hill
Simms
Dodds
Crosby
Cooper
Westwood
Cox
Bailly

Still say we're short
