But is he really a prop?

Yes I think he is.

Well that's the plan for him

He has been used as one, which is why I tend to think of him as one. But this is the season when Gardner played in the second row so who knows what Magennis actually is!

i agree the plan is probably for him to become a prop. but at the moment hes still a second rower for mine. im sure he will bulk up with age and only time will tell if he can take on a role similar to clough and.

Sounds like Makinson isn't playing today after all, according to a tweet of his.

I think he's made for the prop/loose role that Royce goes for. He's by far the best from are young forwards as he has a off load game.
