Tend to agree with that. The problem doesn't lie with our four (including Holdroyd) existing props. The problem is that we don't have another two.

Totally agree.
I don't blame Tet, Prior or Mik.
They are getting flogged every week.
Tet and Prior will not have done anywhere near the amount of minutes in games that we're asking them to do.
They're out on their knees - and it can lead to lazy, brain fart tackles that will cop a ban.
Happened to both of them in the last two weeks.
The problem is that we are two props short in the squad - simple as that.
Really poor squad management.
Yes, deluded if we think we can get better than these 2 from the NRL - especially to come over here for a relegation battle.

Mustapha didn't even start for Bradford, so I doubt he's going to make much difference for us either.

When all 3 have been in how Agar thought it best to put them all on from the start is anyone's guess.

Whether he started or not is neither here nor there in the modern game. I'm not sure how far muizz can go in the game to be honest but I'll bet my bottom he can do more of a job than Thompson

It should be manageable if Smith replaces the LF, but he's got to clear the ruck quicker. Gives far too many penalties away.

If we can find a shirt big enough - he is a monster - hopefully he can add an ex factor to the team

Newman has had an op on his Hamstring, out for 12 weeks.
