Quote: Wires71 "Westwood is not a prop though, and his performances at 2nd row have been on the wane for 2 years.
Perhaps there is promise in Philbin at prop. Rest are 2nd row.
Relying on Wheeler as a utility option may not be the safest bet either.
No I think we are at least 2 props short for adequate cover and have no 'wrecking ball' prop option either.
What we can say for sure it's one of the weakest packs in recent memory and is unlikely to boss many of our rivals' pack.'"
I have to agree with all points here.
I just cant fathom why, for the 2nd year on the bounce, we are losing more props than were recruiting... and last year we were desperately short up front.
Ive been waiting for at least one more prop signing.. Now Smith says there wont be any, yet there is room in the cap, should an outstanding player become available.
