Whilst I liked James and thought he made an impact when he came on, this is understandable. If four players are ahead of him and he wants regular rugby? Fair play to him. Sorry to see him go after seeing so little of him. However I think he'll do well at Fev.

Like I said before, I don't think we'll let anyone go without someone coming in and there's still plenty of time for that to happen. Pleased that Ollie's not going anywhere, he'd have been a loss.

Quite suprised - the other players on twitter had all mentioned how fit he'd looked coming into pre season ( & I mean physically fit by the way !) .

For all we know he could of knew a few months ago mid of off-season. Goodluck to him anyway and I hope we can welcome him back a few years down the line

Think we'll now definately need to add another prop to the squad but there is still time and maybe someone already lined up (ex-HKR prop Jason Netherton?) although I hope it is someone super league standard who is arguably a better option than James. Unless Mariano who has the size & strength moves up to the front row?

Good luck to James he never really seemed to get much of a look in last season and Southern was preferred to play out of position instead when James could have been given more of a go maybe? Hope he comes back in a couple of years to WTW better as he is a local lad.

Good luck Matty all the best

Agar did his best to get rid last year by all accounts, hence the delay in announcing his signing. He obviously doesn't rate him much but it leaves us short. We now need two forwards, i trust its all in hand.

I was reasonably happy with the prop situation prior to this news, as James seemed a good back up. I don't blame him for going but it does leave us bit thin on the ground now -we've lost Johnson, Southern and now James and signed just one forward I think? I don't know what the situation is with younger players and if any are ready to step up ?
We're ok, of course, if we stay injury free!

We are now 2 props short.

I like Moriano in the second row running wide not prop.

I hope we have a good prop coming in and a decent back up prop.

I guess it's watch this space over the next week or two but pre season has started and again we are still player hunting.

Sign Mose Masoe maybe?

Mariano should not even be considered for prop

We do have eight on the website listed as 'back row', I'm pretty sure at least one of those could fill in if three of our props were injured.

Good luck to Matt James but the direction we are intending to go I dont think he is good enough for SL the Championship is where he will do well, he one of those in between players for me perhaps too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for SL, sure he will rip it up next season at Fev, he looked good in the U20's but he was never anything other than a back up IMHO onwards and upwards we need competition for places and another quality prop will bring that.

If three of our props are injured we're in trouble!
I think you really mean if ONE of our props is injured one of the eight listed as back row forwards could fill in. Well I dont agree with the old second rower forward being a prop (Steve Southern!). We should have props in reserve as well as a mulititude of second rowers. The top clubs bring in props not second row forwards.
