Possibly but we being told by 2 different people in fairness.
Wouldnt say squad is that weak. Weve just had too many out and no SL squad could cope really. But we also arent were we need to be either this year.

I 'd rather people did take a chance and share stuff they are told/hear. That's half the fun of coming on here for me. Don't expect people to back it up with names. Good enough for me that a fair percentage of these rumours end up being accurate. Better than waiting to here about it in the evening post. I think we are well stocked for props, and if both Prior and King stay not sure we need any. Maybe they can pick up Scurr from Bradford, but I wouldn't to see us in the NRL market for a prop again.

Partly i do think that yeah but then i also think there is no way anyone from club reads the piffle we all put on here. But it is a balancing act as to what and how you say it. You want us all to get info but you want to also keep getting info in the future and not get caught. The Corey Johnson one may still come back on me.

If Prior stays we don't need two more props. Only light backrowers are Donaldson and O'connor. Gannon will put on some size in the off season as will Walters add Mellor Thompson Smith Bentley that's a pretty decent bunch.

Agreed. Mik, Prior, Holroyd and King are our out and out props with Tetevano able to do it from 13 as well. So we have 5 with Thompson cover as no. 6.
Some strong stuff from Agar post game where he implied he was disappointed in the efforts from some and some “really poor performers”.
Although we have some very promising young players not all will make it.

| King seems more of a back row anyway, he's similar to Thompson IMO

I would have said he was a prop or nothing else. I think he's been decent value this year.

Ah but Prior has a great pass on him and a good engine, can slot in nicely at 13 for me. Tet isn't quite big enough for prop IMO. Thompson again is neither one nor the other.
Mik and Holroyd are outright props, which I'm delighted about with both being academy lads. Just what we needed. King I think is more agile prop than slightly cumbersome back rower, I'd keep him direct.
If we keep King and Prior, I can live with our pack for 2022. If either or both goes, we need that Taupau-type signing who can skittle the opposition a bit, and share the workload with Mik and Tommy who are still developing.
What I will say is that this Leeds pack at times this season has looked better than it has for a very long time indeed. Walters, Gannon, O'Connor, Bentley, Mik, Holroyd and even Smith are still of an age where you'd expect them to get better too.

| King is definitely not a back rower for reasons that are too many to go in to.

Take your points but we can’t play prior and zane at 13. Think zane can do a decent job at prop at SL level as few teams have 4 good ones.
For mine Mik and prior with zane at 13 and Holroyd and king off the bench against the better, bigger teams.

I agree with all other than Tetevano not being big enough for prop 6ft 1 and 17st 7lb is plenty big enough.He hits hard and is explosive in the tackle.
