35, 36 maybe when the season starts - not too old for a prop, If there are no other options available to sign for 3 - 4 years 'd be more than happy if he joined us while we continue our elusive search.

He improves our squad so why not. He's definitely good for another year or so if he wants to, which is a pretty big if to be fair.

Yeah Price is "Considering" Bringing a middle in..........CONSIDERING......That and halfback have been our problem areas for a long time and he's only Considering bringing one in. Strange comment.
Could just mean the cap is alot tighter than we think if we can't offload Latu, if we just paid his contract off would he come straight of the cap? I must admit i'm still confused how it works?
Ben Flower has been past his best for a few years now so i'm Glad we didn't try to sign him, and Remi Casty is NOT the answer to our prop issues at all. cheap one year deal as a squad filler yes but that's it, Kibula and Latu could learn a thing or 2 off him i suppose.

It would hardly be a long term deal would it. Don't get me wrong I'd prefer we were thinking a little more long term but if there isn't anyone suitable available this season or we can get better next season then he'd be a decent addition IMO. We do need to lose Latu though and sita if price is still in charge because he won't use him anyway and doesn't seem able to get the best out of him.

As long as they didn't play a game in 2021 we could pay them off without them counting on the cap - just depends whether the club could take the hit. The club would much rather them sign for another club to reduce some of that financial burden which must be biting right now with COVID.

Casty isn't the long term answer, but he could do a job in a position we are short for a season while we keep looking.

We shouldn't need another 12 month filler, we've had plenty why we search for "the one" The scouting/recruitment team stink at finding a long term prop answer, that's the sad fact.

At this rate, we'll be asking Les Boyd to get his boots out of his garage

Agreed, loads of good props have been signed by rival superleague clubs in the time we have needed to sign one.

If only Ligi Sao was an option he would be immense for us, solid, aggressive and plays long minutes. Brilliant signing for Hull.
