Burgess won't play again he is still employed by the Rabbitons.

Hed start on the wing no doubt. I'd love Tom Johnstone and hes a Leeds lad. I'm sure we could get him with a decent offer.

What about the other Burgess bro Tom? Is he gettable ?

We have Ava, Prior, Cuthbertson, Crosby, Olezjski, Holroyd and Mustapha. Do we really need another prop?

Leeds were interested before his injury.

Providing he's a good one then yes.

Yes. Only Ava and Prior are good. Olezjski has promise but has a long way to go yet. Cuthbo has had one good season. Crosby injury prone and not played for about 3 years. The other two are kids. Hopefully theyll get there but that's a couple of seasons off.

Justifys my point even more I forgot about the 2012 GF ahaha

Not sure where you get 3 years from, only signed for the club 18 months back.

I think you could take the same approach to our back row options. In an ideal world, I think we’d get a prop, a back row and a utility back. But we don’t have the cap space. So I think it’ll be another addition to the pack, but it’ll be more to do with what quality is out there rather than specifically prop or back row.

I was being sarcastic. I dont think he'd played much the season before he signed for us though.

Yeah agree

If we sign another prop Holroyd would probably better going out on loan for a few months.

giving crosby a deal was like the ablett deal. a stupid decision

Hopefully not,does anyone know when Crosby is due back last I read he had targeted Boxing Day?

I agree. It looks like Ava and Prior will be the starting props with olezjski and cuthbo on the bench. When/if Crosby is fit he will provide competition given I expect the bench to be Dwyer, L Sutty, a prop and another forward most weeks.

Muzz had a decent spell in the north east but could do with a full year at a SL club or good championship club to continue his development. Holroyd is the tricky one as I think he could do a job for us but likely won't get enough he time so will prob go out on loan too.

If a top prop is available then have four to pick from from the new prop, Ava, Prior, Olezjski, Crosby and the two youngsters is excellent. I just don't want us buying average to get the numbers up.

Ridiculous if that's the case, was he only on a two year deal, been better off paying him off, needs to have a stellar season when back.

I doubt it will be 15/20 weeks before he's match ready.

We have reserves this year don't we? I imagine a lot of these players will remain at the club but in the reserves.
In my opinion the reserves was a great stepping stone for the academy players.

Doesn`t that take him to April/May as i said

3 mths to get a new injury
