Rogues, you still hearing that HH might be bulking up fopr next year at prop?

I've not heard that.
I can see it happening to Mossop though in the next few years.

Mossop runs just as hard as any of the props now.IMO he should be bulking up for next season not in a few years

| I said last season I would have Mossop a game or two at prop, mainly because of Fielden's dire form. I reckon:
2010: A few reserve games, plenty SL games at second row, maybe one or two at prop
2011: No reserve games, bench/starting second row all season with some game time at prop.
2012: Maybe a transition to prop here if Hock returns?? He'd be 23 and have about 60/70 games under his belt.
Of course that's a long way into the future but I'd definitely keep the bulk if I was him

If Hock returns i'd like to see us use him as a prop, after 2 years out hopefully he's beefed himself up a bit, and whilst he may have lost a bit of handling skill the step up to prop would allow him to just do what he does best, whilst not having to do 80 mins at 2nd row.

| What Mossop needs more than anything else next year is a good prolonged run in the first team where can build up some rhythm to his game, he was in and out of the team so much last year even on the back of good form, for me another reason why we shouldn't resign Bailey.

You might be right, I'm just not sure that playing out of position would be the easiest way for him to return after so long away. I'm sure handling skills would return quickly in the off season. I reckon match fitness would be the bigger worry, as much as he'll be training now it's no substitute for playing in competitive games every week.

I'm sure even with Bailey in the team this year Mossop will get plenty games, injuries are very common at second row and none of the current second rowers are so established that they won't be dropped, unlike the first half of last year when we knew Hock would play every game he was fit for.

Let's say Lockers starts every game at 13 which he will do barring injury that leaves:
Hansen
Tomkins
Mossop
Farrel
Bailey?
Possibly five players trying to fit into two starting positions with one on the bench doesnt fit for me, especially when Farrel really should be getting first team experience. That's with out adding Tuscon into the mix as well.

He should be playing prop next year IMO. He needs to bulk up pre season. Hansen could also bulk up. I am sure Wane will get all our forwards running in with some passion instead of Fieldens lazy style.
