We are thin and some, when fit and available, are ineffective. A lot are young and unproven. I think in reality we have 2 top quality prop forwards.
e.g) Ask the question "Which of these forwards would you expect to see in a title winning side"
Vaughan (yes)
Harrison (yes)
Musgrove (maybe)
Wood (too early to tell)
Thomas (too early to tell)
Green (too early to tell)
Bullock (no)
Philbin (no)
Dudson (no) |

Gratuitous references to D****n should be a banning offence |

At the risk of a banning, Dudson has been in a championship winning 17 and won a GF still have nightmare flashbacks of that game. |

"Gratuitous" is a word that doesn't get used much ... not in our house anyway. Very impressive ... Captain Hook. I'm going to see if I can slip it into my conversation when I go for my walk around the village.

He's not really had a choice! Of all our centres I think wrench is the best for putting his wingers away with a well timed pass. I'd prefer him next to Ashton than tai or King. Hopefully those 2 can learn that skill from gleeson who was one of the best I've ever seen. |

He's a strong running kid with a big future bit still very raw. We'd be sorry to lose him.

Thanks for this. He does look a big strong lad. I'm happier with this sort of recruitment than splashing out on a potential has been. Do you know his current injury? |

He looks a good prospect. We have a few prospects.
However would you not agree we need a performant prop for the now? |

It took too long to get Kasiano off our books, and consequently we missed out on Mikaele, but I too think that we will sign a prop from the NRL before the end of this season. |

He's got a broken jaw. It didn't need an operation - just waiting for it to heal. Could be about 4-5 weeks. |

Yes I'd like one who can play this season too. Because we sign a 20 year old prospect it shouldn't mean we can't carry on looking for others. Mind you 20 year olds should be getting a bit of game time now e.g. Wood, Holroyd |

I am more than pleased with our youngsters although i do wonder if Thewlis has a lack of self confidence for a winger. Perhaps he would be better away from the touchline. I think for these next two games that Wrench would be a better centre option with Tai in the pack or coming off the bench.

In honesty I’m not sure I would trust Tai’s defence in the pack until he has a lot more game to me under his belt. |
