Prior and Tetevano are OK but not enough. Last year we signed King and re-signed Thompson. Pointless signings. That's the lack of quality I'm talking about - genuine props, not pumped up slow second rowers.

In 2017, the last time we competed we had Garbutt, Cuthbertson, Singleton, Mullally, Galloway and Ormonroyd. Six genuine props of varying standard (plus Baldwinson and a very young Oledzki), and we survived losing Galloway mid-way through the season because we had a proper rotation.

Agar has been coach since 2019, and will have been involved in all recruitment decisions since 2020. He has consistently banged on about middles and clearly not prioritised what most of us would recognise as actual props. So we don't have enough, and the ones we do have are on the small side as a group.

Suppose the idea is get rid now, hopefully get a response from the players for game this weekend and maybe get a win, look for performance against Saints and accept a win is unlikely. Then week off for CC round assuming we don’t beat Cas. Thats 3 weeks to get someone in and reset for rest of season. Better to sacrifice next 2-3 games cup and league than soldier on with Agar which as things stand looks like a relegation dog, fight, and with a potential 10 team Super league next season we need to be in the top 8-9

I don’t like the sound of a 10 team SL. This feels like an ideal season to scrap any relegation and go for a 14 team SL next year.

The last thing the game needs is even less variety imo.

I'm pretty sure they announced no changes for next year last week.
