Four because Hirst is also big about the same as England and Allgood. What I do like is that he's a grafter and a bit nasty with it and boy have we needed that fort a while - belly will be wetting himself and on this occasion he'd be right.

In my experience the best props are the ones who willingly run the ball up, get up quckly and ptb and tackle well. Line breaks and off loads are a bonus but not essential.

Fair enough.

I wasn't actually aware of his size.

I was looking for a player profile on him the other day, but couldn't find one

Not too sure, I think on numbers we could at least loose one more of our three quarter line, especially now mazive has joined as a fringe player.
Could it be that Arundel could be used as second row cover ?

Think if we were to use one of our backs as second row cover, I think Bill Tupou fits the bill more.

We have lost 3 props, and only 2 in at the moment. Would like to think we will see one more prop

Add Mason Caton Brown to your list - he's a quality signing!

Happy with what we've signed. Still need to complete the forwards and awaiting the outcome of the Scott Moore debacle!

Do you get the feeling that, regardless of the outcome of the latest incident, the club might as well bite the bullet with Moore and get shut now. He's clearly never going to grow up.

Agree with other posters Allgood sounds like a grafter type prop who will be hopefully a good replacement for Scruton.

Still a prop short IMO.....whether UK SL standard or ideally D.Fifita with a quota spot freed up elsewhere.

Fifita made a real difference coming off the bench...England, Allgood with Fifita, Simon and Hirst off the bench would give real go forward. Walker to provide squad cover.

If it's not possible to get D.Fifita then a similar type prop with an offload game will hopefully be considered for signing from possible money saved from Moore contract who answers his police bail about 3/12/16 according to press where it'll be decided what if any criminal charges are brought.

Need more grunt up front than last season as it stands if just Allgood is signed Trinity have less.

Finn, Sio and Moules then playing at 9 throughout the season with Arona/Molloy at 13.

Finn at 9 is a big no no.

Quote: Willzay "Finn at 9 is a big no no.'" They said that last pre-season about him at 7 and he was an ever present and had a good season. Distribution from the PTB will be crisp and at 5ft 11 and 14 1/2 stone he is big enough and played there previously. Appreciate no pace but maybe Sio/Moules off bench to provide that... www.loverugbyleague.com/news_239 ... field.html

If i was a betting man then i'd go Anthony Tupou to not return, David Fifita to do so, sorts the quota/non-fed places out. Then Harrison & Wood announced and its job done.

Wood as in Kyle Wood?

I would guess it would be Kyle Wood.

However, the Kyle Wood rumour was going around before it all came about, regarding Moore.

Yeah. Although i've lost money before gambling!

Wouldn't put too much faith in the OP, could just as easy be Dane Tilse both of whom Chester knows very well.
Just an uneducated guess imo.

I can't see anyway the Scott Moore incident won't end up in a "parting of the ways", unless the S Yorkshire police were the arresting officers, they arrested/tasered/interviewed the wrong Scott Moore. I don't usually go for the "no smoke without fire" gag but can't really see this not being a serious offence.
