Sorry I thought this thread was about Hughes.

Carry on.

The thread is entitled new prop, not Hughes. Not a fan of Hughes at all but not going to dig him out when problem is far deeper and dies not Lay at Hughes door.

On the subject point, fair to say we are all desperate for a new prop it’s genuinely Incredible that every warrington fan was crying out for it but those professionals tasked with the responsibility didn’t.

Worrying !!

Sounds like Chris Hill? Why did we let him go or did he want to leave?

Currie, Holmes, Hughes, Davis, Magoulias, J Clark, Philbin, Harrison, Butler

Imagine we replaced just replaced some of those with high-quality big men. With salary cap considerations, you could probably get rid of four of them to bring in two well-paid high-quality props when you consider we have some young talented back-rowers.

It has been a complete failure of squad management and recruitment. There's no hindsight either. Us simple-minded fans have been banging on about this for years now.

Exactly, draw in defenders & get the ball out ,but we also need to instil an attitude throughout the team of the importance of supporting any break whether forward or back.

I'll ask the question again, is this the chris Hill that the majority of warrington fans were slagging off for being a penalty machine for the past 4 seasons?

Most overrated prop in the game.

In fairness he was better when the captaincy was removed.

Just on what I think was a positive, butler wasn't too bad at the weekend, I dont recall anything horrid happening down to him, he ran the ball in pretty strong. Only got a 20 min price style cameo

He'll definately improve with more game time, he needs to stamp his mark and kick on. I was excited when we signed him and i hope he can finally hit top form.

For a minute, with the resurrection of this thread, I thought we’d signed one.

You or I have more chance of winning the 2022 Epsom Derby riding a unicorn, than seeing a new prop signed for this season.
Who would you like to see come in for 2023?

Watts or Sam Casi would be good. Add so go forward and weight.

I've always liked Watts, but I'd want the starting prop version rather than the bench option one, Campbell-Gillard would be on my list.

Anyone who believes Rob Buttler is going to become the prop we so desperately need, is in cloud cuckoo land.
