Doubt it. phelps is on a pittance as well

just hope his agent doesnt get greedy and think hes worth a fortune,he will be staying tho along with ogre,reckon lauaki,phelps,washy will be surplus to requirements plus burnett wont be coming back,also one more to come in.fitz will prob go too,cant see his shoulder taking another season.

There's not many good props floating around though.

Hull might let him test himself on the open market to see what his worth is.

You heard anything about signing a couple of forwards for next season Wolfie?

It's a little concerning that we look like losing Fitz and Hame with no mention yet of replacements.

Add Washbrook and Dowes to that list and we'll hopefully have a decent amount of spare cap.

Dowes will stay I reckon, props are already in short supply.

I think that you're probably right Paul but it's not exactly going to see us catching up with Wire, Wigan etc.. anytime soon.

As has been said on here many times before " if you keep doing what you've always done, you keep getting what you've always got".

There are hardly any decent british props who are ooc and don't have any overseas spots. Players like Ryan Bailey could become in demand or teams will promote their younger players. Wakey could be an option if they lose their license, someone like Paul Johnson.

This is why we should have used Heremaia's spot on a prop.

It's a definate argument to say that we could have signed an overseas forward and used Obst/Houghton as hookers.

It's a nobrainer mate. The club must have known who was leaving and who was been retained. It's an appalling decision by the club.

You can't say that yet until the recruitment is finalised. We may pay a fee for a prop in SL who has a year on his contract to run. Who knows yet?

I totally agree Bones. We can have all the best "pivots" in the world but a threadbare pack with little or no depth is no good to anyone (unless of course you're happy to battle it out for 8th spot)

You're right but, the recruitment has not finished so let's wait and see.

Most clubs haven't started.
