Yes I had heard the same. I think he was very disappointing last season after a very strong one the year before. Whilst I agree you wouldn't want to lose size from the pack, he hasn't really added any muscle in either attack or defence of late. Either way we are pretty short on numbers and you'd hope we have something planned to deal with this before the league season kicks off.

Was talking about Props and their impact the other day.

SL prop signs for a Championship side, often mid season, their fitness is generally better with having come from the full time environment, and they are often stand out players in a side, but more often than not after a year or so they no longer stand out and are just squad members, not even automatic picks.

We've had an abundance of forwards over the last few years who have been decent enough for Championship level, but we've not had any stand out props for a while

Yep, Dan when full time was lean and mean but put unwanted timber on. A few times he got pushed back last season, never would have happened a few seasons back, he got dropped for a reason. We all like to remember players in their prime and that they'll eventually regain their touch but more often than not it never happens.

It's a fair point Brew-just hope Lannon doesnt go same way..

It’d be interesting to know what input Craig huby has had on the decisions regarding our pack .

I think with losing Dan now I think it’s important we re sign lannon and a couple more of the forwards. And bring in new recruits
