Forget Ewan Dowes we need a big mean impact prop; someone in the mould of Sam Moa. Some south sea islander must be available who would do a job where are our scouts?. Our worries came to light the other day we are very small up the middle granted Catalan are big but so are Wigan/Leeds/Wire it doesn't Bode well they smashed us through the middle saturday. We have about 5 hookers and 5/6 half backs once again the balance of the team is in question. Plenty of players have left surely we are not upto the cap yet! This will be the last piece of the jigsaw for now.

I support this team fully, but we are in need of 1 or 2 props, we should be scouting every where, in rugby league,union,american football,ever Aussie rules, Galic football etc... eusa_think.gif eusa_shifty.gif icon_surprised.gifops: icon_lol.gif

ewan is going to play in aus mate. him and richard never saw eye to eye anyway but you are right. we have no front row to speak of.apart from kyle who could be called back anytime it suits leeds . trouble is we are trying to put second rowers up front and they are getting battered as they did in catalans. said weeks ago before we released the props we had, don't throw the baby out with the bath water. there is no one around to pick up now thats good enough.

Wrong.

Kyle is our player for the season - Leeds can offer him a contract extension before July but that would not be with them until next season.

Well I think you have a point and one which has been highlighted on here many times. We have perhaps ONE established superleague prop in Kyle Amor and even he is still learning his trade. Ollie Wilkes is a great forward but not an out and out prop, nor are Raleigh or Johnson.
We are lightweight and the likes of Kylie Leululai must be rubbing their hands in anticipation of facing us in battle. I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I don't think the reduction in interchange will make any difference to the rotation of props!

Stop talking rubbish, Johnson is a first class SL prop in the making and Wilkes is already a good SL prop. I can never understand why fans like you take a reasonable point (we are one of the lighter front rows and cou;d do with another prop) and then stretch and twist it to the ridiculous length that we have only one prop. You just destroy any credibility you're point had.

Friendlies mean nothing IMHO other than giving people excuses to moan.

Yeah let's just make it up as we go along shall we. Johnson is an out and out prop and anyone can see that. I can't for the life of me see how you get Amor as an established SL prop. He'd barely played a game until we rescued him. He's no further down the track than Johnson. They are both good IMHO and come the real season will give Leululai plenty to think about. Give your head a shake and wait and see and give them a chance.

We don't need an impact prop anymore in my opinion, we need a tackle buster and momentum builder. Not the same thing.
Physical size does matter but not at the expense of the rest of the game.

I'd like to see Kylie play for us, or even a young Korki, but if they are not there I don't want a big fat prop just for the sake of it.
Peacock isn't exactly big in weight and size nor was Fielden. It isn't just a matter of getting a giant, it's a momentum builder we need. They come in all shapes and sizes.
