Monday's far too soon. Do the 20s have anymore fixtures between now and the KR game?

Unfortunately no, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench at HKR or maybe "on loan" to South Wales for a game.

If Crosby gets a ban then maybe we will send Stu down to Wales this weekend?

Really pleased to see he played.

He has been, arguably, the best prop in the world. I am still of the opinion that you do not "lose it" overnight.

A massive boost if he could play a part in our end season.

Ultimate professional.........time to make a comeback

From your previous post it sounded like Prescott picked up an injury again last night? Tell me it aint so.

I'd love to see him play a few games this year, rip it up and then get kept on because we're losing a lot of experience as it is and we need to keep some old heads in the squad.

It's a long shot with a) the amount of time he's been out and b) the amount of time he's got to make an impression this year but you never know.

If Prescott is injured again that pushes him up one place straight away.

I'd second that. If he could get back to his old self then he'd be a good replacement for Lima. It seems unlikely that we'll get anyone decent from the NRL, and there isn't anyone in Super League that's in their prime (and available).

^ clown

how he sees a 33 year old injury prone player that has hardly played any games in 2 seasons as a replacement for probably the best prop in the league this year, if said player gets back to his usual self, which was mediocre at best

So you don't think he has the potential to be a very good prop?

Maybe a long layoff is exactly what he needed after his "burnout"?

Perhaps he has one more very good season in him?

I don't know the answer to this, only he does, but I would have thought his record deserves a bit more optimism?

Maybe he isn't a like for like replacement, just as Smith isn't as good as Brett Finch, but we have to live in the real world not some fantasy world.

It seems very unlikely that we'll get anyone half decent from the NRL, so who is there that can replace Lima?

Most of our current props are towards the younger end of the age range. Of course it's a big if, but if Fielden can return to close to his old form then he'd be as good an option as is out there.
