I agree, but that wasn't the point.

Last year you dismissed James, Johnson and Raleigh a midgets yet all are bigger than Dickens. Why the change of heart regarding size?

because size doesnt matter or thats what the person who wears the trousers in his house keeps telling him

His Daddy?

Unless the guy we are after isn't back up but earmarked for a first team place.

You mean t'aribo, surely?

It most certainly is a spoof, one that someone prominently placed at the club accused me of perpretrating via a DM on Twitter a couple of months ago; I was suitably chuffed off.

If we go into the season without a 5th and we get injuries I'd like to see us have a go for Singleton on loan. We can do an Amor with him.

Yes its a spoof. But a good one

Possibility I suppose but that then makes one of the other 4 an expensive back-up option, doesn't it??

A different perspective could see this as 5 players all working their socks off to get a first team place. Id be happy if we had different prop combinations each week if they had to work hard to gain a place in the squad.

well 2 are up for contract renewal next year so should both be working hard

If eveyone is fit, yes. But both Raleigh & Wilkes can play second row if injuries strike. Or he might want to try the modern way of a third on-field prop at loose forward (as leeds do) buy way of a tactical change or if Washbrook is either injured or covering elsewhere. It makes sense to have someone who can add to the team rather than just fill in. Agar has said he wanted this years signings to give quality rather than quantity. Gives genuine competition for places thats for sure, which is only a good thing.
