We do look light on in the front row, but we're missing three of our first choice props plus Donaldson. Most sides would struggle to have decent reserves for that. I agree that we look a player light there though, especially with the depth we have in the back row by comparison. I wonder if keeping Bentley was partly down to concern about Gannon long term?.

I understand why he did it, but I think Smith started this season a bit over-cautious. Donaldson seems a nice guy and all that, but he's not a prop, and not SL standard except as last-gasp backup. In that sense his suspension is a good thing IMO as the safety blanket of picking an 'experienced' (but hugely limited) player has been taken away. We've seen coaches persevere with rubbish experienced players before - very recently in fact - and it never really works.

Should just add though that I wouldn't be surprised if the plan was to have one or all of Ruan, TNW and even Hudson in the first team regularly by the end of the year. I just can't believe that we would go with Donaldson first reserve prop as the plan for the whole season.

This cycle is pretty predictable these days:

Cautious optimism
Excitement
Confidence
Arrogance
Poor performance
Defeat
Anger
Frustration
Excuses
Further disappointments
More excuses
Glimmer of hope
Cautious optimism

And so it goes on.....

I’m trying to remain positive but this last few seasons we don’t seem to have much luck with injuries. Whilst injuries aren’t exclusive to us ,it seems we seem to receive more than our fair share. Over at Hull the black and whites over the last few seasons also seem to be in the same situation.

Or that less than 14 stone is big enough for the front row!

Oi, Smiths years of experience and training lead him to that carefully considered decision!

Probably about right.
Although Ruan should be in the mix, or did he pick up an injury running on and then off the pitch for his cameo last week?
If they're all fit and good to go, we could compete for periods.
But I thinks Cats pack will be too strong and I have them by 14.

Roberts is just beige isn't he, I can't get interested in his development. A bit like keinhorst in the regard. I'd like to see McCormack as he offers an attacking threat though I thought jack Smith might be Infront of him

It’s a big ask for s player with no SL experience to play against tom Johnstone to be fair

Very true, I do think he'll go with Roberts again though maybe edgells assured performance has given him confidence.
