We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| Maguire is NSW coach so not available - I'm not sure any NRL club would want him now, he's got a pretty toxic reputation.
Arthur and Demetriou would be good options but not right away. After years coaching in the NRL, especially Arthur, you wouldn't want them to go straight into a job like Leeds without some time away from the game. It wouldn't be healthy for them and wouldn't be beneficial to us.

| Quote: ArthurClues "Looking at those props I'd say we need to prioritise two senior props, not one. Far too many question marks over the others - Holroyd (very injury prone and mixed form when he does play) Lisone (good impact player on his day, but not a starter), Sangare (hasn't improved since he arrived) Hudson (hasn't played a single SL game) TNW (completely unproven and a bit on the small side). Can't take a chance this time round.'" Can't disagree with any of that.

| Thanks for the update, JR. I'm glad Ruan's got a new contract. I believe he was the "quickest" player at the club last season (as per GPS results). The club just need to decide if he's going to be used as a prop or bit of a strike second row.
I'm surprised Demetriou's name hasn't been mentioned more. I think he'd be great, and has history around the area. He might be a bit too similar to Rohan in his zen approach, but he can't be too bad if Wayne Bennett didn't mind having him around.

| Clueso re props I think it will depend on who is available. If we can find two, maybe. But we look light in the back row unless we successfully convert Hudson, Ryan, Littlewood to first grade and/or Gannon comes back and stays back.
McDonnell I can just about live with for size but O’Connor, Goudemand, Bentley are all too small frankly. I expect Martin to leave, we’ll see.
We have great strength in back rowers coming through the system but for me we need to plug a gap.

| Jim - I'd argue that you always need more props than 2nd rows, just because good sides tend to play 4, sometimes 5, every week. Contrast that with 2nd rows where you might go with 2, perhaps 3. Like you I think we'd benefit from a big second row, but I still think the priority has to be a couple of props.
