Good point Willzay!

An option for signing a prop? Paul Brearley, 6 foot 7 and 18 stone...signing for Toronto fell through...the next Walmsley? https://www.totalrl.com/wolfpack-to-sign-fax-forward/

Think Catalans have just topped that (literally ) with this guy - Corentin Le Cam - at 6ft 9ins...reputedly the tallest professional RL player in history according to League Express ??

Think the fact schofield is tipping us for bottom says it all.he like some doesnt have rose tinted specs and sees it how it is.where a team that struggled to compete never mind win games over last season and half.with virtually the same squad as those times we can only hope last and poaching can make a massive difference and the players who where really good a couple years ago peform again but there is that worry that maybe they where in there peak then.
Ill know doubt get stick for this but its just about been realistic we will struggle to stay up..not saying we will go down but deffo think we have battle on hands

How the hell does it, Schofield has never tipped us correctly ever.

I love the way you use him to back your limp argument when it suits.

I also love the way anyone who doesn't share your myopic miserable view is 'rose-tinted'.

I also love the way you feel you're some sort of RL sage full of wisdom telling us saps how life really is.

I also love your disclaimer at the end, of course you know you'll get some stick from some because that's what you want, you are in love with misery, go-ahead enjoy, you and Schofield would make great drinking partners because he too likes wallowing in self-pity.

Other than those corrections you're welcome to your opinions.

Up the Trin.

I wouldn’t back Schofield to pick the winner of the boat race if Oxford were disqualified 2 days before the race. He’s absolutely gash at predictions and has always picked us as the easy option

Correct, but facts don't suit some people.

In the back room we have strengthened considerably in my opinion and this along with recruitment on the conditioning will I hope make the difference.

When you look at the current squad to 2020 we have lost some considerable depth in some positions.

Bjb*
Kirmond
Atkins
Gigot
Koppy*
Gwaze

Now out of these I’ll be brutally honest in that only BB and Koppy are losses in terms of lessening the quality of the first team.

Mason Lino brings some much added quality (we hope) in the halfs and kicking which has been one of our problems the past 2 seasons.

The other issue for me is props. There’s a lot of discussion on whether what we have is enough. For me it isn’t. Last season I believe we had many games where we had props injured and we struggled to make metres and impact down the middle. It was glaringly obvious in a number of games with there being 100s of metres difference between the two.

Baring in mind we struggled the middles in terms of injuries and availability last season and are two props lighter I honestly do think this is an area for concern.

I also don’t think we should be rushing out and signing any prop forward and we need players that will improve us only.

If we go in as we are I’m happy with the squad but don’t think the props are strong enough in depth or ability as they are.

I’m hoping with the continued growth of players like Crowther, Batch, Jowitt who are starting to mature and the investment in back room we can offset that loss in depth from the above players.

So I feel 2 props are needed still.

I’d love it if we sign Battye but still think we could do with another prop who can eat up the hard yards. Easier said than done so I don’t envy the club looking g for that player!

2 props are needed 1 or 2 injuries and where buggered in that postion deffo but a thing for me is players getting back to where they where 2 years ago i think its fair to say for different reasons not all there own fault a good amount of players form dropped in ladt 18 months hence a win ratio of about 8 in 40 so these lads need to get back to where they where.
