Agree with you - which begs the question after Walters has gone and Hudson comes in, we’re still potentially backwards on this season. Sangare coming back from injury and Mik and Tom looking jaded too - we could do with someone else decent to give us 6 and some competition for places.'"
Oledzki
Holroyd
Lisone
Sangare
Goudemand
Donaldson
Hudson
That's 7.

Since 2017 he's played 2 games of NRL. Really?

Donaldson is definitely not a prop and Goudemand I don’t think is either . Being able to cover the position in an emergency is not the same thing as being a specialist there. So 5 for me. Also don’t think Hudson has played a single game of SL yet so very much a project, so only 4 experienced specialist props in the whole squad.

| Unfortunately though Donaldson isn't a 2nd row either as he struggles laterally when defending especially out wide. So what is he?

Surplus to requirements but committed and a good influence around the place…
I don’t mind Donno too much I think we have bigger wastes of salary than him TBH.

A small man who tries hard. he would have been fine in the 70’s when grafting second rows were valuable.
Sadly leg tackles are not rewarded these days and lead to quick play the balls.
His main asset is now running the ball on an angle with his head up, sticking his chin out in a Bruce Forsyth stylee and hoping someone bangs him in the throat.
Nice to see Morgan Knowles, to see you nice.

Donaldson almost always plays at prop. Goudemand has played 40 games in the last two years, of which at most 5 were not at prop. That makes them both props.

On that basis does this make Martin a centre?
For me no, he`s a second rower.

I don’t really care where Donaldson tends to play, he is not a prop. Would he ever make the 4 prop rotation on game day if our real props are fit? No.
He is a committed tackler and runs hard but he is simply too small and lacks the mass required for heavy artillery.
If you think these two are good enough at prop that we’re fine in that position you do you.

| Goudemand and Donaldson aren’t anything like big enough to be effective props. That might be where they play as they’re also not fast enough or have good enough hands to play in the back row, but it doesn’t mean they would be part of an effective Prop rotation.

Donaldson is well, just a Donaldson. I would never argue he was prop. Goudemand, on the other hand, has most definitely been part of a successful prop rotation at Catalans. I don't think you can really argue otherwise. Anyway, it would be nice if we judged on his performances in the blue and amber. Think he might surprise.
