Nobody.

Its up to Hansen now, regardless of how he plays in the reserves the standard is not a reflection on how he would go in SL.

Hansen now has to worry about outperforming the likes of Farrell in the Reserves and ensuring he is the next in line once there is an injury or loss in form. If he does get a chance he has to take it, if his form slips below that of Farrell in the reserves then he may as well look for other options as it would be doubtfull there would be a way back.

Yep, all down to himself, you won't worry about the likes of Hock, Tomkins or Bailey, just get your head down and perform your better in the reserves! Earn it back

Stick with same for me. He has to earn it/prove himself.

If we didnt have Bailey then it would be an easy decision, Hansen would be in the 17 every time. Hansen is as good as Bailey in defence and offers more in attack.

When Bailey goes at the end of the season then it looks like Hansen would be the one to take his place, however next year I'd be expecting one of Mossop/Farrell or Flanagan to step up.

Its a tough one to call and its good that we finally have competition for places and a strong squad.

The main question now we have a strong squad is, are these players willing to be part of a squad or do they want to play 1st team rugby elsewhere?

or can any of them be moulded into a prop (ala Peacock/Morley) as i see happening with Hock in a few years

Yeah. People who have seen Mossop regularly, do they think he could be converted into prop later on in his career?

From what I've seen him he's a big lad and runs strong and hard.

When the reserves played Huddersfield he played prop and ran the show. He got the headline in the League Express, which is excellent for a forward, and made more impressive by the fact that in the same game Pryce scored a hat-trick and Smith was outstanding

Oh, and Korkidas was packing down agianst him, and Mossop dominated him

Next year, if Bailey goes! If Hock and Tomkins are still performing like they are now, Hansen in my eyes won't be defo for that 17th spot! He'll have a big fight off Mossop for it!

Bailey won't go.

I think he has to really, i think phelps will stay and make the fb spot his own and smith is on his way to earning a contract, thats if he wants to stick around though.

We're gonna have to lose a big earner because surely smith/phelps if they stay will want improved contracts, as will sam and shaun, and we need a new prop!

he either leaves or has a reduced contract, we simply cant afford to have him on the payroll with the rest of the players we have for that position who are on a lot less

The only player I see on that payroll who will be on less is Joel Tomkins. I can't see Hock being on pennies or Bailey. I'd guess that out of the 4 opf them, Hansen is on the third most money really.
