You might consider me a fanboy, I was the one who picked up on your comment. I’m not a fanboy, in fact I think Mik hasn’t kicked on from his early promise, but equally I think he’s the best prop we have, in fact the only genuine prop that is regularly fit. I’d like us to sign two that are better than him, then we are heading in the right direction in the pack.
Hit the nail on the head there. I don't think anybody is suggesting that Mik (who is two or three years off his prime) is an international class prop yet. He is simply easily the best prop at Headingley. The only time he's ever had a decent battery of props around him was very briefly with Ava and Prior, and he prospered then. He needs another couple of experienced, quality front rowers sharing the load and with any luck he might start to thrive again.
