I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Carrol (you've got me eating my heart away) here for the remainder of this season; we're certainly a bit short up front and he could do a sufficiently decent job to avoid having to play Southern at prop.

That would be a good move, give him a chance to knuckle down and earn a contract, Southern would probaly be happy about that too.

Looks good to me.

Please lets not go down the route of signing of Mason from Hudds.We could give O Carroll a temp contract to end of season and see how he would fit in with the proviso if he does then a 2 year contract to follow.

He's had a difficult time with injuries I believe, but O'Carrol (I am but a fool) looks like a decent, aggressive prop with a bit of a nasty streak; not sure about the play for a contract situation though - I think he'll get offers from other clubs without having to 'earn' a contract at Wakey. To secure him, we'd probably have to be offering something a bit more substantial.

Is O'Carroll just out of favour at Hull, or has he dropped off in form? As I always quite impressed at Wigan; he seemed to tackle above his size and get through his work.

As much as I would like another prop, I'm not sure there's much point at this point of the season as we probably wouldn't play him anyway (don't forget we already have another out and out prop in Matt James who we are just not giving game time to) as we like to have lots more options at second row instead of prop.

Fair point. RA seems to like playing second rowers.

Maybe wrong, but i think he is looking to get back over Lancashire way. Widnes will be interested as they are with anybody it seems at the mo.

Would definitely be worth giving him a temp contract till end of season. Give him the chance to earn a proper contract for next year.

Could be another cockayne - Given a chance and takes it with both hands.

Coming to Widnes with Danny tickle

I would say there would never be another.......

I'm ok with either O'Carrol or Mason. Both bring something we need.
but I'm not sure of the comment of choosing O'Carroll over Mason every day of the week? ....is there a player you would maybe only choose on Wednesdays?

Only reason I wouldn't want Mason is the attitude he has, unless he has calmed down then fair enough.

Otherwise he's a decent shout as is o'carrol but maybe there is better out there.

Yes, sorry, I didn't quote the other bit in! My mistake.
I only mean the O'Carroll quip to you.
