Cooper & Mulhern starting with Philbin, Bullock, Butler, J.Clark and Doro look like our Prop forwards next year. + Harrison coming back in to the fold around June/July.
I think Clark will get another year just so we're not even worse off in the forwards. I think he will bounce between 13 and Prop next year.
We must have some money left to be interested in Evans, i'd rather us sit on the money and see what happens as the year goes on. As he's clearly of to Hull is Evans
I'm very interested to see what happens with the Currie, Holmes and Hughes second row Triangle next year.
If it was me i'd put Holmes at 12 and Hughes at 13. Holmes and Currie are both left edge second rowers but i wouldn't move Currie from there.

You've omitted Longstaff from the pack thinking. He is a star.

He's a second rower though and unless Currie, Holmes, Hughes are injured or being rested i don't think he will get much game time to be honest.
Just randomly remembered we still have Keiron Brand on our books. I assume he's gonna come back in to the fold? Or will we loan him out again, as i can't see him making the team anytime soon.

In an ideal world his name should be on the teamsheet well before Hughes is being considered.

I thought letting George King leave was a drop bollox.
I still think it was a dropped bollox.
I heard we had offered him only half the money he was currently on at the time. Perhaps coming back from injury too soon gave him a lull in form and an offer to reflect the status quo…
He was easily our best prop once he had got his match fitness up. If it were me, I’d be buying him back. We couldn’t live with him in the play off.

I don't agree that letting George King go was a mistake. He was an average player when released and he remains one.

Partially agree with you regarding George King.

The problem is that the player that we signed to replace him with was Lama Tasi................

George King would have been better than keeping Akauola in my oppinion.
Just remembered we still have Ellis Robson, I hope he gets more game time next year. He's very aggressive and hits hard in attack, he can do a solid job as a prop but better at 2nd row maybe 13.

Ellis Robson / George King .. don’t think there is that much between them tbh.

We should be aiming higher for a big body like Kasiano, Paasi, Satae etc

George King is a lot better than Robson, Robson has shown nothing so far, I'm not saying he won't mind you. King is established as a solid superleague prop and a much, much better player at this stage.

Spot on in the second sentence though. Totally agree, not necessarily a huge unit but we need someone who makes ground and is hard to handle.

I mean in terms of having an impact on the game and making big yards/big tackles etc etc yeah GKing is a lot more established as a player but your getting much of a muchness with them both.

A big mobile prop that can have an impact on the game is what we should be looking for, at the end of the day neither of them two above offer that for me.

Well if King was offered to us now, I wouldn’t need to be offered him twice.

There are many, many props I'd have at Warrington before him though, like Bullock, he's no Hill replacement.

wouldn't mind Pauli Pauli on a 1 year deal.

Bone idle. Makes Akuola look like a trojan.
