O'Hara & Beaumont aren't massive losses though really are they. We still have IMO one of the best performing props of last season signed with an extended deal in Adam Walker whilst James Green will be involved alot more this season, Throw in Weyman and add that Costigan aint shy at packing down in the front row I'd say we are looking very good.

Beaumont we can cover, O'Hara would've been a loss if he'd actually played. Don't see Costigan playing prop. We're still short of numbers & experience up front imo. Might look different once the new signings are announced.

Props so far.
Weyman, Langley, Walker J, Walker A, Green.
Costigan, Cox, Horne.
Hookers so far.
Carlisle, Hodgeson.

I would say it is more pressing to get some SR's in being honest.

You've missed out Lovegrove.

I thought Langley played more in the 2nd row/loose at the Bulls?

I reckon based on Roopy's comments Costigan will play 13 and switch to 9 at times.

Nevertheless, the pack does look shy on personnel and experienced depth although there are the fringe players to consider; Ollett, Esslemont & Robinson.

Lets hope NH has a couple of forwards signed up and one of them I am hearing is a PNG whose first name is Enoch (cue the Goose).

I thought Costigan to would play at 13, till we signed Langley. Second row now looks like Costigans role.

since when has Horne been a prop? Langley is a backrower too, as are Cox and Costigan

A line has been missed there as there was supposed to be the line saying 'SR so far' before the Costigan and Cox line sorry.

As for Langley you could be right but I can still us bringing in another SR.

I think we need another prop personally. we look pretty well covered in the backrow now with Lovegrove, Cox, Costigan, Langley and Horne as well as our young lads Hepi and Ollet.

Rumour is that Lovegrove is off though.

yer, hopefully it won't be due to low wages, he's been a real unsung hero since he first signed and has too be one of the first names on the team sheet these days.

How longs he been with you now ?

Evarn Tuimavave is defo leaving.

weve been together since 2007
