Our young forwards are top class.

Frodsham captained England academy against Aussies and people like Ashurst and Dixon were also in the squad.
There are some very big and capable young forwards in our academy/reserves

Where? Frodsham isn't up to it unless he gets a lot bigger. He gets smashed about all over the place in Super League. Emmitt is better but doesn't look to have much other than his size.

He's young with a big frame, of course he'll get bigger.

Yeah, i mean Paul Clough and James Graham really are sh*te!

Andy Platt is his personal trainer.

Nah Paul Forber.

And it took us the best part of twenty odd years to get to him. We're not talking theoretical physics here. Prop is the one position you cannot afford to underman. If you do - you lose. It's as simple as that.

So far for next season we can rely on Graham and an aging Maurie. Bryn has always been a fringe player. Certainly not front line material. Puletua is more of a back row player and Cayless looks to be finished. There can be no confidence about next season on the strength of that line up. It's just not strong enough. Not to mention the strain put on Graham carrying that pack. We certainly don't want another Fielden on our hands.

Ashurst and Dixon are back rowers. The jury's out on Frodsham.

Perhaps it did, but that has no relevance as to whether the current crop will be any good.



I know, I did it at Uni
We don't know that Cunningham's staying on. If he does it'll certainly throw a spanner in the works of playing Moore. Soliola is a centre who can play back row as cover. Not the other way around. Hargreaves is a solid defender, but he offers very little yardage against the better packs. Cayless is farked and we don't know if the chairman has any intentions of buying a replacement. None of our academy props look particularly promising at this moment (although time may come to our rescue there). I'm certainly not comfortable with this situation.

I suppose since you have your hand slapped on image rights, we are shedding the older player, and we are just plain better than you, you have to come up with scurrilous suggestions.

Didn't your chairman admit on Radio Manchester that Saints were using image rite contracts?


There's nothing scurrilous about the suggestion at all. I just can't remember any player moving from centre to prop in such a short space of time.
Can you?

The last one I can actually remember doing it was Harvey Howard, and it took a few years.

Of late you've been out on a vendetta, I guess I read that wrong... Unless I didn't.

Ruban wiki started as a winger/centre then moved into prop and was a world class prop.

Harvey Howard was always the size of a forwRd when he was a winger at saints.

I mean when he was winger at widnes. He never played for saints.
