Think we have 8 who can play prop. 7 I’d say are actual props.

Mckmeeken
Atoni
Rodwell
Uele
Vagana
Shaw
Lingard
Cozza

They can play there but we should have 6 who play there without disrupting other positions.
Of course Vagana could be the 6th but I think we are trying to make him a SR so he should be focusing on that first.
Lingard is too young for now. He's an occasional player for me till he develops.
Cozza no. He should only be cover. We don't have enough cover at 13.

Vagana is a prop but we seem to be trying him more at second row. I think he will play on bench for us as a second row and come on for impact after 55/60. But he is a prop and certainly good enough and big enough to play there. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

Shaw and Lingard are there if we start to struggle with injuries. At least we have options.

13 is an area we are short in, I’m curious who will be favourite to spell with Pitts in the 17. I think it could possibly be Hood for final 20.

That's pretty much what I've just said

But we need another prop if we don't want to move Vagzna from second row, nove Cozza from 13 or play a kid who isn't ready for a full season.

If we were looking at bringing someone in, I'd be looking at a 13. Didn't think Cozza had a partivularly good game on Boxing Day, if I'm honest. I would say he is probably, the weak link in our pack if we have one

This next one he is really something different

You can’t do that



Come on spill the beans abit more

all adds to the excitement

Ok ok. Is it a 13?

Oh no. It’s Hampshire isn’t it.

Probably because we agree.

I think we will start to struggle if we hit an injury in the back row as well as prop but I think luck could play a part. Let’s hope we don’t have to worry about it too much.

Will be very interesting to see what we do with the last quota spot. So long as it’s quality coming in then all good.

There’s a few things to consider like Pitts and Griffin and whether this is their last year in Superleague (or not).

A top quality 13 would be my personal preferred option. But I trust the club as I’ve been impressed with the recruitment.

Strange one with Cozza. I thought he came back looking fit and strong back end of last season and looked pretty good at 13.

I think as rotation/back up he has something to contribute. It’s hard to say not seeing him at SL level much but I’m going to reserve judgement on him just yet as I’ve not really made my mind up about him.
