Lovegrove is a left side second rower NOT a prop

But still played prop all year!

Does not mean it should happen next season

And the results of playing second rows at prop were there for everyone to see

And have been for many years. Anyone remember Wembley?

Retchless & Millard??

Yes but that was due to injuries in the team and we were essentially forced into that position.

Yep, playing 'others' at Prop, does not constitute a 'Prop', it merely highlights the lack of real Props thereof!!!

We can convince ourselves a "good little half-back" will sort things out, we can convince ourselves that some "nippy wingers" are whats needed or a full back with good hands and "fantastic under the high ball" etc etc et-al.

If we do, we resign ourselves to another season of simply being bullied up middle and eventually off the park!

Yep, this writ large.

When he played for us lovegrove played mostly as a prop he certainly had the strength he preferred second row though funny how his first game for us he played on the wing

Ryan Verlinden. He went over there and played for Featherstone this season gone. Is he the sort of prop we're after?

He has an Irish passport, despite the Dutch name.
