We need two 'props' on the bench as last week proved so there should be both Southern and Johnson there as they are the closest thing we have got left to 'props' with injury and suspension. Unless they look at Walshaw/Mariano as props based purely on their size?

Southern is not a prop. Lauitiiti, on the other hand, would be an adequate prop "replacement".

Let's play James Davey at prop

Well we have had Southern at prop and Aiton at prop so next game should see John or Smith at prop going on past logic.

Or Sykes. Perhaps Fox, makes some yards time to time.

that's just silly!!! It should be Kyle wood! I don't know, some people!

I know you're thinking about his size and presence but Lauititi is a genuine second row who gives us some genuine strike power on the edge going through the centre positions. To use him as a prop would be almost criminal but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened with the odd prop decison made last game.

I'd rather they get Spiers back or play any other second row (except Kirmond) there than use Lauititi there. They might put Gout straight in against Warrington at 8?

Leeds used Ali as a prop in his last season there

charlie for prop

James banned for one match and fined £300 That means Johnson and Trout have to play! I'd rather have Trout play prop then Aiton or Southern!

but if the first team do not have a game this weekend then he is available for U 20s which I think serves as his one match ban , so he should be ok for the week after. Well that is how it used to work anyway.

I think its changed they only count at the level you received the ban at, so u20's won't count.

McGoldrick got a two game ban.
Obsessed!! Before anyone bothers to point it out!!!

Great, another prop down. Sounds like Russ Spiers has been going ok at Donny. Worth a go?
