But does PG still see him as a prop, afterall that's where he said he intended to play him when we signed him. |

I think that Pitts has looked pretty strong in defence but I'm unsure if he can make the metres going forward that are required from the props.
He's made 173 tackles in 6 appearances, which is a 28-29 average per game (and he's been getting spelled so he isn't playing a full 80 each week). That's a very good defensive workrate.
I think that he'll be a good Loose Forward, but we also have Westerman and Whiting for their so I don't know how much time he would get in that position.
He's been good for us so far and I hope/expect that he'll improve with having more time under our coaches.

He's a decent prop but the problem is he is always injured so is constantly playing catchup in terms of fitness and form. 4th prop at best for next season.

When he was at Wigan,he was gedarded as the best of the lot coming through but he is a walking sicknote,if we could get better in i would let him go.

We need a more robust type of player to fill the boots of O'Meley. Especially, if Sam goes home. We also need someone to start games more often than O'Carroll does.

He reminds me of Greenhill, in both size and style. |

Looks a good player, when fit, as others have said thats the problem.
He certainly hasn't been a poor signing IMO. I'll be happy if he is a 4th/5th prop next year.

O'Carroll hasn't been poor in terms of performances. Hutch Miava (spelling) was a poor signing overall.
