There's still plenty of life left in Westwood. Can't see Wire wanting to get rid just yet.

Crosby and Savilio would have been nice, oh to have that quality of player at Trinity.

Fifita's probably move to Newcastle leaves us a bit short.

We've lost Scruton, Anderson and Fifita from this year with only Hurst in as replacement. I don't see one of our own young props stepping up just yet so we have to at least sign two, and to be honest, they have to be good ones to make it count. It's an area that leaves a whole team weak if it isn't a good area.
There was a rumour of Shillington for a while which would be pretty good. And I think we need "big" in the front row so another with size would be preferred.
I'm coming round to the Bailey idea.

Bailey? if both Leeds, HKR and Wire are happy to let him go I am not so sure. He doesn't seem to do many minutes and do we need another "bad boy" needing a taxi to Red Hall?

No, we don't want Bailey.

Think Huddersfield are now after Greenwood from Hull KR.

Well I'm not defending him particularly but
Leeds let him go and badly suffered up front without him (admittedly without Peacock and Leuluai)
Hull KR also let Chris Chester go
Warrington seemed to do well with him in the team and are only letting him go because they can recruit better with Crosby and Savelio

If we have a better option, I'd gladly take it.

If the club have some signings sorted, like was said a bit ago, telling us about it now would do the general vibe a world of good imo. Other teams are started to ramp up signings , while we're dealing with the Moore situation.

I know there's plenty of time till the start of the season, but Pre-season isn't far off and our Prop situation seriously needs sorting, otherwise we're in trouble. We've known Scruton & Anderson were going for some time and have only signed Hirst. Even if we kept Fifita that would have kept us light in the Props, with just 4,, can't see us going through a SL season with just 4 recognised Props.I mean even this last season we had 6 Props before Fifita came in.

Even though the picture of Fifta meeting with Newcastle looks to be a a cafe of all places, it seems he's still shopping himself around and if that's the case, which i'm sure the club are already doing, we should be looking elsewhere.

This. The announcement of a prop signing would be positive and offset the negative stuff that's appeared recently.

Trinity have been linked with Jordan Cox a few weeks ago and hopefully CC and JK think he may be a good squad addition as an improvement on Yates.

Also kopchak has still not signed a new deal with Salford....

Leeds let him go at the end of 2014, they won the treble the following year! I'd say they didn't miss him much.

I'd steer clear of Bailey. He's only managed 20-odd games for his 3 clubs in the last 2 years because of various injuries and what limited powers he possesed at his peak are now very much on the wane and at 32 next month he is unlikely to suddenly improve.

Kopczak has a year left on his contract and is staying at Salford, he signed a 2 year deal last year. All according to his wife on twitter anyway.

Personally I'd rather have Cox than Bailey, if given the choice. Props a hard place to play and bringing in an a guy with a history the past couple of years of his body breaking down, wouldn't be that wise imo. Tbh also in hindsight, we should have kept Yates as a back up Prop, unless the club knows something I don't.

We have a more than capable prop who can break tackles, hit the ball up and scares the opposition defences unfortunately we don't appear to be capable of extending his stay. We knew we were safe several weeks ago and Fafita confirmed he wanted to stay but I guess as per usual we dithered and other teams realised what we couldn't see as the season progressed.
If he leaves then we have only ourselves to blame once again because we had long enough to sign him. If you think Bailey is a suitable replacement then I am afraid you have been brainwashed, all he would be is another penny pinching signing. We have used too many of our lives to think we would survive with a sub standard squad, when clearly other teams are strengthening. We have rode our luck and unfortunately some of you believe we are invincible regardless of the squad we put together.
