Seriously, have you seen the number of back/second row forwards we have on our books? Clubb won his cap as a centre and just because Mac feels he may make a loose forward or second row isn't a reason to mess with a lad who one a cap at centre.
He has also owned Gleeson & Matt King and kept Senior very very very quiet and they are three of the most experienced centres in SL.
Centre for me......we have a need for props, not second/back rowers.'"
I want my centres to do more than just keep the oppo quiet. |

so do most people, but given our flanks have been turnstiles for the latter part of this season, I would like to shore up that area, THEN worry about creativity....... |

I think it is less of a rumour and more that the chairman told one of our supporters this is the case.
Brian has mentioned in an interview we're bringing 2x props and an outside back. We know one of the props is Wilkes and the other is likely to be Matt James from Bradford.
It's fairly obvious we won't be any stronger next season. |

We can always pray that other sides fall back even further than us? Wakey, Salford, Bradford... |

Sadly both Wakefield and Bradford have some proven, solid NRL players already signed and Salford have just received a big cash windfall from the Myler sale. |

No one will ever manage to find two more injury prone, ineffective second rowers than the two injury prone, ineffective second rowers we found. |

And squeezing into the 15 team play offs that the RFL will have created to give all the average teams a chance of scraping in for the prize of getting beaten away at Leeds, Saints or Wigan. |

His Wikipedia entry says so. Although that's not always 100% |

Is Wilkes a second rower or prop from what I can see he is a second rower, if he is down to be one of our replacement props then we will have serious issues up front next year.

Don't forget McDermott is an obsessive collector of 2nd rows. If he gets offered one that is surplus to requirements elsewhere he's compelled to snap them up. |
