Not much SL experience we need a lot more quality

It’s a big body project which is probably a retrograde step from Walters but you never know.

Our first line props will be Holroyd, Oledski, Lisone, Sangare and they will get picked if fit. Not sure a project prop is what we needed but I’m guessing we are prioritising SH and Centre (correctly). Once we know who we’re signing there and at what price / quota, I guess we can think about the pack again.

Good luck to him anyway.

Given what others have said about us not really having any props ready to come through the system yet it’s an understandable depth signing, and I would argue if we’re going to have projects, they should be ones with youth and outstanding physical attributes.

We can't possibly go with only those 4.
We will get injuries and Sangare is not good enough or fit enough to be in the 4 rotation every week.

Looks like this kid is to replace Walters (and presume we have missed out on Eseh).
We absolutely must replace Tetevano.

Don't mind this type of signing. Looks a decent prospect and the cap won't take much of a hit. Regardless of this signing we still have significant spending money and QS etc to play with to get this side back into the top 4

Assuming we have another starting prop coming in, he will be 6th maybe 7th choice if Goudaman spells at prop. He’s just squad filler and if he ends up more than that its good business

Goudemand hasn't really played second row since 2019. He's mostly off the bench, but when he's started he's been Prop or Loose Forward. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't do similar for Leeds. I'd like another Prop too, but he is essentially our 5th prop forward (Hudson 6th) , so we aren't quite as thin there in terms of quantity as some think.

Dont mind this signing, or indeed, these kind of signings, young british player with excellent physical attributes for his position.

Fills the young prop with potential gap in the squad, which we were short of

Lets see how he gets on

Theres not enough quality there though if we're really serious. There needs to be a marked improvement from oledszki, Holroyd and Sangare.

I agree. I'm just fed up of people think Goudemand is a second row.

MG is 5’ 10” and 15st 6lbs, he’s not going to make a dent in most of the other forwards at the top clubs. If he’s the 5th Prop we’re going round in circles in lower mid table. We need a big hitter prop, someone who’s going to bend the line and whack in defence, not another “middle”.

You are right and so is Arthur

To give a bit of perspective, MG is the same height as Kylie Leuluai, but a stone and a half lighter.

And MG is not made out of concrete
