The general consensus is that we could do with a prop (or two). Is there anyone out there though who would add quality to the squad. I think we've recruited well in a short space of time. Things look quite promising. I don't think we should sign a player(s) for the sake of it.

Quote: vastman "See I don't go for that, I think that era has gone, it's just my opinion though.

I think people may be confused about what they want, pin pointing size which I don't think is the issue.

What people are really wanting IMHO is that rarest of breeds these days. It's the older prop, who's big enough but knows all the tricks and will take the game to the opposition by leading the charge. Paul King offered a bit of that a few seasons ago, he came on and the tide would start to turn (a bit). If I had one fear with this pack it's that it may lack the guile these old pro's offer. Of the two who may offer it I don't see it being Wilkes, he's hard as nails and a fantastic player but he's no leader unless his stint at London has changed him. Raleigh looks more likely, he looks like a bit of a thinker who could possibly do it but maybe Hudds fans (normal ones) can tell us. The others are all far to young to take on the roll for me.

Problem is I can't see one of these available anywhere because we simply don't build them that way anymore, there are few Bill Ashursts out there these days.

However I think that's why Southern and Ali where signed. Ali has the spark and Southern the graft and guts so there is a plan B.'"

I think there are enough leaders in the pack, to warrant just good hard running from the front rowers.
Southern and Aiton barking and guiding!!!
I aren't suggesting some know how and guille aren't needed, just not so much.
What we know about the likes of Amor, Wilkes, Johnson and Raleigh is, they aren't shirkers, if you ask them they'll run all day, and i'm sure that will be the RA's plan going ino the season.

No I'd say it's that most of us are happy with what we have, but if the right player came along - but then that applies to most clubs.

I wouldn't disagree.With most teams the problem is in the head not in the BMI.

Matt James signed a 3 month loan deal with Halifax yesterday morning so does this mean that Mr Agar wants to free up some salary cap for another player or is he happy to go with what we have?

I've not seen him in the friendlies so i cant comment, perhaps RA has decided that in Wilkes, Amor Johnson and Raleigh he has plenty of that type of prop and James is one too many.
Wether or not that means he has someone else or someone "different" on his radar, we shall see.

Yes and No, I think Matty needs first team rugby and I think Halifax will give him a good challenge, I should think we can recall him if needed..

How many times can you ignore the stats - there is no lack of size, size is not the issue and it more or less is just you icon_frustrated.gif icon_frustrated.gif icon_frustrated.gif icon_frustrated.gif All anyone is saying is that despite what folk say we have a fairly big pack, thus no excuses for getting bossed imho.

As for the good old fashioned bit, if you mean an experienced prop then there is an argument for such a player - now name one, because I cant at the moment.

As for Agar, where is the link to that statement because as far as I recall he has consistently stated that he is happy with the squad but is always on the look out - one can assume a prop may be in there but that's all he's said.

Anyway hasn't your missus told you size isn't everything eusa_liar.gif

It isn't, you just don't seem to be able to bare anyone challenging yours - it's you with the problem. chillpill.gif

I'm not an expert that's why I left it to Kear and now leave it to Agar. a014.gif

icon_surprised.gifops: Meant consensus of people I've spoken to during the last few weeks. I'm very happy with what we've got and I think people are genuinely quite excited about the coming season.

Thought James played very well against Sheffield but then again so did Moore.
