Time for you to have a break particularly over Xmas. Mick

Friday

I'm sure he's thrilled. You really need to enlist the help of a responsible adult to confiscate your phone/tablet/laptop when you get on the sauce!

Its either seb or taai that will end up playing prop as we dont have enough its as simple as that personally think seb could go well there. Just praying we have a good season on the injury front.

seb showed some good flashes last season, like his debut at magic weekend but then he picked up the injury!

then he had a good game at hull kr too just when we needed him to

comes across as abut dumb at times on the field, poor defence so not a second rower, more a prop of the bench impact role

expect to see big improvement again as he will have had a pre season with us this time, as weill brierley and symonds

He's a big mobile prop for my money and with a full preseason to bed in I'm expecting good things

Just like Akuma kicked on I think Seb will as well

Seb came in well last year. Can see a great year for him. His size and power will cause a lot of problems for the opposition. Also liked to get the offload out, sometimes giving the ball away but if we can get the likes of brieley and cruise around him anticipating we should get some decent breaks.

I really don't understand why people infer that prop and second row are interchangable and that if you are a big second row you can simply play prop and have the same impact. For me, playing prop forward is more a mentality than a position. A player that is used to play second row on the fringes cannot suddenly develop the mentaility that props have had all their career, to do the hard work when noone else wants to, to wear themselves out tackling the biggest men, and often to be the teams biggest enforcer.

Sure some second rowers have all these attributes and they are the ones that are suitable, but just to say 'he's big enough' is to underestimate the change that is required in mentality to change to that position effectively. Many second rowers are used to running out wide at smaller defenders, and use footwork.

Prop is specialised position and needs players who have been brought up playing it to be effective (with some exceptions)

David Fauma was an obvious exception then...

He has been a lot better than the Christmas pudding Ta'ai was when he first started.
If he can improve season by season like he has we're going to have a fans favourite on our hands.

Symonds excites me more for next season. I think we have another Ferres on our hands with him.. I
I'm sure Stone will have them linking up well with Brough and Brierly well this season and we can do some damage.

that side of the field will be some force!
