If we go into the season with our current props we will get dominated in the pack like last year. Young lads (rarely) have the mentality to mix it with the experienced superleague props no matter how big they are. If we don't sign another good prop we are in real trouble in this department. I admit Smith is an unknown quantity but i very much doubt a lad coming back from a years absence is going to be tearing it up in the first few months. Rapira is good, we would need another to go with him.. but NOT Ryan Bailey!!

we will be fine on numbers if we dont have injuries

of they strike again we will struggle agan

the club has done the right thing though by trying to stop some of that risk with a new conditioner

Going to be very interesting who plays left centre this year with Wardle certain to leave this week.

Lee Gaskell, Sam Wood, Darnell McIntosh or Aaron Murphy?

One injury to Brough or Brierley and Gaskell will be going straight in the halves so I personally can't see him playing in the centres that much given the fact he will also be first in line to play Full Back if Mamo gets injured too.

i wouldnt mind going with the combo of murphy and ormsby...

other options but think this one if the safer option

then again i do like murphy on the wing!!

i though gaskell was being signed to play centre for us at the time mind.

sure stone has a better idea seeing them train, pre season games will be the time to see what the best combo will be

issue is fullback the ausi if he comes is out injured who the hookers are going to be leaming and who else hinchcliife should play LF possiblty they might use brough but with only 3hb in the club again a risk we are very short of cover in the spine of the team

We only have 2 pre season games though, we could do with an extra couple to evaluate combinations.
