With interchanges being reduced I feel the teams with the bigger impact props wil struggle this year like you Warrington's, Leeds, Dragons and so on. And lets also not forget the unlimited interchanges on Saturday.

Johnson needs more size to be called a out and out prop no way. Wilkes and Amour ; James is he upto SL standard,? Jury is out for me . As for Hickey we didn't no he would come like Homer Simpson; if he was fit he would have been a good signing.

Didn't you once complain Stosic was too small a few pre-season's back?!

No Leeds can't call Amor back anytime it suits them.

Which many ways was Stosic better than Tronc?

He was fit, settled and did the job he was supposed to do. That's 3 straight away!

Tronc was fit while he was here, the rest is unfortunate that he didn't settle here but that doesn't take away from what a player he was, he was world class imo.

Yes he did. He also fails to realise because he never researches what he types at 5 ft 11 in 16 st 7 lb Stosic is slightly smaller than Johnson but about 1/2 a stone heavier. However he has IMO a props physique and will carry an extra stone easily, may well have added 1/2 a stone in the off season.

We have an obsession on this forum with making out our players to be smaller than they are and the opposition much bigger.

Strength, grit, skill, experience and biff are a different issue.

Tronc was better than Stosic for me (when he 1st arrived) I liked the way he could take out 3 or 4 players and offload. A proper prop.

Tronc could have been a legend at BV if things had gone in the way they should have done.
