| Quote rubber duckie="rubber duckie"Kurt Sorensen, Les Boyd and Kevin Tamati were 3 of the bests props I ever saw play. I would give up a limb to watch them play for Wire instead of the signings we have made for prop over the last 12 months.
They were all about 5ft 7” to 5ft 8” and no more than 16st tops.'"
Kevin Tamati was 5'10"

Today's internet winner.
I remember being stood in the the Time Square, and thinking "wow, Boyd's a midget"..... certainly didn't play like one. Proof alone that you don't need to be 6'4" and built like a proverbial one to be a prop. Let's not forget either, when Boyd toured with the 82 Invincibles, he was a second rower. People want them to be fast running 6"2' athletes.....he wasn't that, either.
No substitute for class.

| Boyd could negate lack of true size by being squat, fearless and intimidating as well as taking the ball in like a freight train and possessing quick feet, hands and brains. How does Jason Clark make up for his lack of size? He's got none of the above.

| Luke Yates is a prime example of not having to be a big dude to hit like a truck......unfortunately Clark is well below Yates level. Squad filler at best.

| We don't need Jason Clark IMO, it's a waste of salary cap. We have signed Holmes so have a back row of
Currie
Holmes
Hughes
Longstaff
Davis
Robson?
Gannon
Philbin plays 13 as an option as well (I'd rather he didn't really we don't have enough props as it is).
We don't need expensive bench cover when longstaff can do a better job for less on the cap.
Put his wage towards a prop please, I would be really disappointed if he is re signed, nothing personal but he's not what we need.

13 is a prop these days, just one that's usually a little more mobile. I'd be very surprised if we didn't see Clark rotating at 13 with Hughes next year. I'd much rather us use the cap space + Clark to bring in a good prop, but its looking unlikely now. Jack Hughes is another I'd be struggling to see a spot for by the end of 2022.

I'd rather we moved away from this now Price has gone, I don't necessarily think 13 is another prop these days either, I don't see Morgan Knowles as a mobile prop to be honest and he's probably the best around at the minute.

Started as prop for England in that friendly this year.
He's a middle with an above average pass, he's far from a running ball handling 13

True but like you say he's a good passer too. He's a long way from either Jason Clark or Joe Philbin really isn't he?

| Above average, for a middle, clark hasn't got a bad pass on him. I don't like him doing it though.

Nor does he. He likes to run it in and take the tackle then get a nice and slow play the ball.
