| He would add experience and steel.
My concern would be that he would be 35 by the end of this season, and should we really be going for someone of that age.
We may get 1 and a bit year out of him, but wouldn't think much more

Assume that you are talking about Gallen and not Mullally
I think that Anthony M would be a good shout and what about the localish lad on loan at C*s - Larne Patrick. (has he fallen out with Anderson at H'field, at Wigan last year, in the H's team then suddenly at Cas, have I missed something?).

| Yes, it was Gallen I meant, regarding ageing props.
I do agree though aboutt Mullally, but not sure about Patrick.
There are a few super league props that are off contract at the end of this year that are British
Craig Kopczak, JOrdan Cox, Gil Dudson and James Green to name a few

| I was joking re Gallen - he'll go to Salford or Hull for a pension top-up before retiring.
It would be great to have Mullally back - he was a barnstormer for us; Patrick, Copczak and Dudson are useless lumps, but I'd have Jordan Cox in a heartbeat.

Wasn't Cox the one how ran nearly the length of the field against us?
Smacks of one of those signings where they have one good game against a club who then sign him and realise he only had one good game in his whole career.
BUT, he looked good to me. I think Wolves are in transition with their props so I'm assuming he is their future

| Totally disagree with some on here about BJB . Wasn't chasing back and saving a try 'getting his finger' out and then sealing the game with a try . The guy has pace which somehow we need to utilise more.How many times has he actually been put into space to show us what he can do?

Errrr.....yes by half a yard! It's 5 yards shorter so not as far to run!
115 × 74.4 yards St. James Park
120 X 74 yards Belle Vue, Wakefield..

The maximum width of a RL pitch is 68 metres...can you guess how wide BV is..?
BV is also 100 metres long...also the maximum.

| Used data off the internet about the size of the pitches which was in yards as well as metres....
68 metres is 74.4 yards....although the data on the length of Belle Vue that I got is also inaccurate as 100 metres is 109 yards...
The RFL state that senior Rugby League pitches should be dimensioned as closely as possible to their specification, which shows the optimum pitch size as 100m x 68m with a 3m safety margin, but gives a range of 6m - 11m for the In-Goal area.

| So there we have it. The assertion that Dragons will like "the wide open spaces of St James's Park", is discredited, as Wakey play on the wide open spaces of BV all season.
As BV is maximum width, St James's can't be wider, or more open. It's simply an illusion of space in a super stadium, the same as Wembley for instance.
