| "Ship him out"???? He's got to want to leave. How do you manage to make that happen?

| Quote: Bulls4Champs "Langley was injured often and often playing with injury, but IMO his form was never in question. He's consistent and like a duracell, just keeps going and going. IMO the same cant be said for Nick, if he was OOC I wouldn't like to see him offered a new one and I would like to see the Bulls try and offload him anyway. Surely his wages are extortionate for the value he offers, which is little to none IMHO.'"
the stats just do not show that. Langleys stats in 2011 were all worse than 2010, carries and metres much more so than tackles per game, and they have picked back up again this season. He played just over half the games last season, but had about 3 or 4 injuries and never got back to the top of his game because of the interruptions. I do agree that when he plays, even if not at his best, he improves the team. Nicks stats show a similar trend 2010 to 2011, but Langleys improved in 2012 whereas Nicks took a major nosedive, right from round 1. the stats do not show how long he spent on the pitch, but if he was doing a full stint then Toms stats were about as good and people were complaining at the start of the season that he was hardly spending any time on the pitch. So that leads me to conclude that either the shoulder condition was chronic and he was played cautiously, or diabetes has had a significant impact upon him. And I hope that it is the former. So two scenarios: he has to retire due to diabetes, and what I hope happens, he gets back from injury and back to his best, just like Langley.

| A fit Scuton would be a boost to our pack. His form of last year and this would mean he would struggle to get into the 17 barring those dreaded injuries!!

| Agreed, an enervated Scruton would be an asset, and a 5th prop is essential to cover at least minor injuries and rotation.
It would be unreasonable to comment on Scuton's worth until we see him play again.
Maybe he can be the player he was, maybe not. It's up to him and all fans should hope he gets back to his best.

| Let's see what he's like when he comes back from injury. Bit unfair to call him when he hasn't got the chance to try and change your mind.

| Get him out, massive wage earner but sadly very crap and has been a total let down these last 3 seasons. So overrated it's unbelievable. Not a chance of him getting into the bulls team while the 4 current props are doing so well
He wasn't wanted by Leeds due to his constant injuries and his dodgy wrist (which has been operated on twice since Leeds got rid!)

How to get him out? If administration occurs the contract he's on isn't worth the paper it's written on. When the new owners try to resign him on a low wage (40k) is all he's worth on his form over the last 2 seasons. He will reject this and then bulls will say ok, we will make u redundant! Here's 3 months wage your free to find another club

| Sign him. Going into a season with 4 props would be suicidal. They aren'y any coming through the academy apart from Mcavoy, but he's too young.

| Eh I have no idea how you can say too young. Bateman at 18, Burgess at 18, T.Burgess at 18/19, Southernwood at 18, O'Brien at 18. McAvoy's age doesn't matter, its ability and physicality. Id play him against Widnes, give him a game see if he can handle it.

Playing him against Widnes is not a full season. What happens when we have Leeds, Wigan etc.
Am all for giving young players the chance, but only if their good enough and Mcavoy is totally unproven. Going into a season with Hargreaves, Kopczak, Manuokafoa, Burgess & Mcavoy is asking for trouble. What if two of our props are injured and we're left with two first team props and a young kids who has no experience. What about if Burgess or Mcavoy go horribly out of form and their confidence?

| But on the wage he's supposedly on he should be a top prop at any club, not a 5th choice.
Do feel really sorry for how its gone for him, but I am worried that even when fit if he'll be able to get back to the level he was at.
