Not a reconstruction but broken knee cap against widnes. They rushed him back a bit quick which prolonged his absence. Going great guns with a full pre-season under his belt. Should have a good season providing the club make it

which props in the sl era who are smaller than trout have made it? and which have being great?

The fact is, to say size doesn't come in to it would be stupid I know, however its not everything, fielden in his prime, 15 stone 12, tough as nails and great technique, scott taylor 16 stone 2 ? Lee mossop, 16 stone 2 ? or trout, 16 stone 5 ? Trouts put a hell of a lot of size on and fact is he was the best forward on the pitch on Boxing Day. It's just my opinion people that say he is not a prop may eat there words at some point

How big is Trout? height & weight? He looks about 5ft 10 and 15 stone......

Just under 6ft2 and at the beginning of last season he was 15 stone 10 pounds according to the official SL website. And he's put some noticeable size on.

would say danny nutley was smaller he was under 6ft but bulkier but had the heart of a lion played state of origin and gave good service to castleford and warrington size isnt everything a good heart and desire mean a lot

I'm 5.11 and he's a fair bit taller than me so I'd guess 6.2 sounds right.
He's also got a mahoosive head so I would imagine he could fill out well as he also looked pretty slight for a front rower.
By the time he's got a couple more years on him he could well be a very different shape and fit the front rowers bill very well.

This is exactly right. I think vasty is taking it as people saying Trout will never be a prop, however people label him as S/R because he isnt ready for that role [uyet.[/u As you say, time will tell.

As I mentioned in another topic where Trouty was discussed, forcing him down the prop role now, because thats all he has ever been will ruin him.

For the meantime, Trout will do very well as WTW Second Row Forward. Come a few years he may develop into WTW Prop Forward.

Good luck to him, because I rate him highly as a player. Lets hope we get to see how far he can develop and is with us for years to come.

Been a lot of cracking players start out in one position and ended up elsewhere in the side after filling out.Brian Lockwood started out scrum half and soon filled out and ended up prop even though he wasnt the biggest prop.Did Bill Ashurst not start out as a centre and he ended up second row.Some of our past great ball playing forwards have started out in the backs so like wise if trout fills out a bit more no reason why he could not move to prop.At the moment I see him as S/R but with a bit more game time and filling out who knows.

Nigel Bell went the other way, started as a scrum half and ended up playing prop at times. Not the biggest or heaviest prop but a heart as big as a bucket more than compensated.
