Annakin is a mystery.
He is contracted for next season and certainly at this stage in the season, he should be playing as part of the team.
Apart from that he looked more than ready to play SL rugby, maybe Agar is trying to "save" him for next season.

Boy am I gonna need a tin hat !

What happened to development ?

Trouty was part of the now forgotten but all conquering academy team that won the title. Where he played a major role.

The player IIRC is a utility forward 8-13 and can be used as a unconventional hooker.

But he came through the ranks so what do we care.

WOW you better get ready to face the cavalry , I agree 1000% for what my OPINION is worth.

I gather they can charge more than their conventional counterparts.

Trout was told to bulk up in the off season when we were short of props, we then signed Poore, Amor and he was told to slim down , I know at that time he felt quite messed around by Agar .

Happens all the time with young players at most clubs, nevermind all this agents use players as commodities stuff, coaches are guilty just the same.

Suppose thats different though.

He's not big enough for a SL second row never mind prop. If he is going to make it he needs to be bigger and stronger to cause problems for the opposition outwide busting mre tackles. Extra stone muscle needed over next 6/7 months.

Amor and Annakin have bulked up so it can be done.
