Lauitiiti with his sheer size (6ft 3 & 18 stone) and strength would have to make make up one of the two prop options off the bench (the other opportunity for a trialist?) whilst using Walshaw with Kirmond in the second row in the starting 13 (and Trout as back up second row off the bench?).

Has Adam gledhill gone to oz because if not give him a game

In what way, he could play prop if needed.

Yet still you champion Dickens, who is old and smaller than Trout - please explain.

NO!

You can't do that at Wakey (despite having huge success doing it in the past).

These days we can only succeed if we have no less than 22 world class props in the team. Make do and mend NEVER!

This prop phobia is now beyond tedious.

I suggest Raleigh shouldn't play prop because he's really a S/R as is Wilkes, whilst Kirmond should be nowhere near the pack because he's a winger etc etc - where does it end.

ABSOLUTELY NO WAY SHOULD THERE BE ANY CHANCE AT WAKEFIELD FOR YOUNG PLAYERS TO COME THROUGH OR OLDER ONES TO MOVE AND MASTER NEW POSITIONS - THE END.

Seriously though Trout? Am I thinking of the wrong guy?
Young kid who played second row last year.
I really would champion his casue as I thought a lot of him but he should not be considered at prop.

Mariano, Ali and even Kirmond would be in the front row before him. He is great at his position. Lets leave him there.

Once again you have the vision of size in your head even though I question trout is bigger than Dickens . Dickens is a seasoned prop and was outstanding against Wigan and Cas in the cup I would have him anyday rather than Trout at prop. Trout needs to pick it up as he is know where near the team as a 2nd rower.

Ali , Kirmond and Frankie for me. Walshaw above trout .

so u would play a lad who has played most of his time in the centres who needs to fill out for a couple of years at prop yeah right your absolutely clueless with you as coach we would be in pennine league division 5

oh yeah cos i forgot hes 6ft 6 or something and size makes all the difference as it did when we signed hickey

Just thought i'd comment as I actually agree with Vasty on this, very rare for me to do that so I thought I better post it as proof in case I doubt myself later on!

yes of course he could "play prop" but he would be ineffective in the prop role, as would several other names that people could pull out of a hat.

I'd rather someone a bit more seasoned like Aiton to play at prop, which just goes to show how ridiculous i consider the suggestion of Trout playing prop.

I don't think anyone is suggesting he is SL prop material at this moment, though he was a prop as a junior. However for a couple of games he could probably manage it though it would take it's toll if prolonged.

Remember, Nigel Bell ended his career as a prop and he started as a S/H o no players position is set in stone.
