We are probably stronger than usual in this regard. However, like you, I'd love one who can scatter opposition on a regular basis. I know Okoro was coming back from a nasty injury (broken jaw) but did anyone see him in action towards the end of the year?'"
He seemed to spend quite a bit of time running across the face of the defence in the game I saw, looking to find a gap. With his size I was expecting to see rather more of a 'in your face ' approach. Still, the coaches will have spent a lot of time with him when it comes to the start of the '25 season, so we will see.

Thanks for this. I'll put you on the spot. Which of our young props do you think is most likely to step up?

That means almost nothing if they don't have drive and aggression. See Bullock, Sangare, Dudson, Karl Pryce, Kibula

Only aggression I saw from Dudson was punching a centre before he joined us. Kibula was a big girls blouse.

| Comments above re drive and aggression are spot on. Holroyd is a great example of this, more so in defence than attack though. We need at least 2 of our young props to play consistently aggressively and well enough to raise the performances of Musgrove etc.

| If Holroyd improves (and only by a bit) he is going to be undroppable.

He shown the club that he is 100% committed by tuning down a great opportunity i think he will be rewarded for this and he will only improve with more first team opportunities.

Think it’s where he prefers, but thinking Taylor-Wray probably the future for that spot now.

Developing as a winger in the Tommy Makinson mould (Without the squirrel grip thankfully).
He played all his career at full back prior to getting into our 1st team and could cover there again if necessary.
As other posters have said though, CTW is the heir apparent for our fullback position.

He's got so much attacking skill & quick. Very exciting prospect from the (limited) amount I've seen.
