So would Soliola and Eastwood be enough for next season in your opinion?...

What do you say Richie?

Minimum of one possibly two - Kylie has to go at the end of this year surely and questions still remain as to Bailey's consistency and Burgesses' suitability

If any of our current props leave, we will need two as we are currently one light. IIRC correctly, Bluey said before the season started that we would be changing the way we play this year, going for more speed (which presumably means less bulk). This has clearly had a negative effect on KL IMO.
We need to manage our recruitment carefully over the next few seasons or we will end up needing to change half a team in three or four years time.

| Quote: Eccleshill Rhino "Minimum of one possibly two - Kylie has to go at the end of this year surely and questions still remain as to Bailey's consistency and Burgesses' suitability'" I'd give Kylie another year,he may not make loads of yards but he more than makes up for it with hard defence.
Burgess is still a young lad for a prop who I feel can only improve, so I would offer him a new deal.
Bailey definitely he upsets the opposition and can play play for long spells.

Well so you are saying we should stay with what we have - cannot agree with that - Kylie played 20 minutes on Friday you simply cannot carry a luxury like that - he misses as many tackles as he hits and the times he cannot get back in line are numerous

The year of JJB the mobile prop, yes he did and it failed then as well. RL is a simple game, big forwards make yards, skillful halves create gaps for fast backs to exploit. Not too difficult is it?

Is this because he is getting older and time is catching up with him, or is it because we have changed both the game we are asking him to play, and his body shape, both of which are having negative effects?

All the props are big guys but Kylie consistently fails to get back into the defensive line - this is criminal regardless of body shop and tactics

| Is it worth pointing out that we are now two defeats away from slipping out of the top 8, or is that too pessimistic?

We could have been as low as 5th right now had results been different today.
