We NEED another prop!

If Mick Potter is insistant on playing TP at 13 we need a big angry 60 minute prop to work along side Jammer. Maurie imo isn't good enough, granted he's had a few good weeks but he isn't progressing enough.
Cloughy is doing a great job but isn't a prop, i fear he'll burn out before the season is done, JC isn't close to fitness.

We're going to come up short again if we're not careful!

I've banging on about putting tony p prop for months.

He is big and makes big yards and also it gives graham help.

I completely agree, but is there anyone available? I'd definitely be looking for next season, but I can't see us bringing anyone in short term. We're short of big men now Maurie's gone.

When is the deadline for signing this season? They don't necessary have to be a world beater, just someone who can come in and do a job for the rest of the season with the option of them playing well getting another 12 months. I'm sure Mike Rush being the talent spotting supremo he is will have had his eye open for some time now....

I can't imagine there's anyone available that's good enough with that status i.e. expiring contract. Any prop who is good enough and availalbe will probably require a contract that goes beyond the end of this season. In addition there's the salary cap. We'll probably have to play a youngster.

I agree. We won't get top class prop but someone to take work load of graham.

I think the deadline is 16th July I think I read.

We should have taken korkidas on loan until the end of season.

He not great but would have helped graham.

We've already signed one player for this season and one for next, so we cannot sign anyone else.

And the talk of Maurie not being good enough is absolutely ridiculous. He's an impact prop and does it very well, he's had a very good season this year, but people don't notice because there have been fewer Fat-Feka-esque comedy barnstorming runs.

There are a few good props in the Championship and in France. We should look there as a remedy until the end of the season.

Even if we could guarantee the fitness of Jammer, Puletua and Clough, it'll be nearly impossible to win the GF without Maurie. With our built-for-agility back row we just don't have the heavy traction to shift the Leeds pack around.

I mean, we've been burned in enough GFs to know this inside out.
