I don't think we need to sign another prop - unless there is one at the level that would improve the team rather than just add numbers and do a job.
I expect numbers back after the Saints match, and possibly even Harrison at the Saints game. Not sure how Clark has made the team last week - shows he's prepared to go through the mill to help out in the short term.
I thought we had signed one too many forwards but now that Mikaele has gone (even though that has weakened the team) I'm ok with what we've got.
We were outgunned last weekend and this week will be another challenge without a doubt, but after that regardless of what anyone says it does become a bit easier and numbers come back.
We do need to give Vaughan a rest - we would have been in trouble if he had been one of the injured along with all of the others, but I genuinely believe we're through the worst.
Wakey are dreadful so maybe even though Vaughan may be in the 17, he may play a lot less minutes

Vaughan will get a week off after the Saints game.

It was an intense, so not particularly the best game to bring him in, but his remit was little more than to buy Vaughany a ten min breather.
I saw him with his mam and dad after the game..,proud is the understatement for it how his mother was!
Please for them.

I agree with this approach for the time being. I think that we've enough cover as it is particularly if all we can get is a squad filler.

Yes we are down to the bare bones, but without putting the mockers on it things should start picking up. It's always a gamble bringing new blood in. Let's get everyone available or as close to it as we can over the next few weeks and see what we might need to (if anything) to reinforce and rejuvenate the squad at the business end of the season which may not be a prop.

Signing someone just for the sake of numbers looks a little bit knee jerk to me

You spoke too soon.....

Gets a rest this week.
Un-bl00dy-believable

Anybody still think 7 props in the squad is enough?....

Lol but when I said it I was talking about him having the international week off now he as 2 weeks off.

Unless there's a prop out there that's a) available, b) wants to play for us and c) improves our squad, then it should be. We're in very odd and exceptional circumstances at the moment, but as it's April, were not facing do or die games.

DP will be banging on about cutting the out the stupidity in his team talks. Highly unlikely that we'll be in the same boat come the business end of the season.

Problem is, this isn't exceptional circumstances, it's pretty much the norm with injuries and how the disciplinary system is set up.

It's almost a given that you will never have a situation where every prop is fit and available, and by the very nature of how things roll as a season takes its toll, multiple absentees will happen again and for a longer period.

I agree its got to be the right player and not just a total panic signing, but, as I've said before, he doesn't necessarily have to be a starting prop or first choice. Just has to be someone who can do a job when needed (and his salary level would hopefully reflect that).

These are unusual curcumstances and yes 7 props is enough to run with normally.

I’ve said it enough times on here…

You need 2 packs to win SL.
We have 2 packs, and normal service will resume very soon.

Fortunately we’re only playing Saints this week, so we can get through the next 2 weeks without dropping any more points.

.... you're at it again, Duckie.

Maybe we can lure Kyle Amor away from widnes. He'd be just the sort of bloke you'd need in a crisis situation.

Better scenario this year, he'd thrive here

Game v Wakefield. Bullock, Philbin and Vaughan will all be back, and Kasiano will have had the international week off. Forwards back to strength.
