Oledzki is about 3-4 inches taller than Gallen, and a stone and a half heavier. IMO he could play that tough yards role that Gallen did for many years, the guy who puts his hand up for the carries others don’t want.

Let’s see what happens to him, but I think he’s got that potential.

So nothing like Gallens build. If anything id hope for him to be the upright running, awkward to put down front row in the mould of Peackock. Hes not 'nugety'.

Holroyd could be the pick of them if he has the heart for it IMO.

He could be special Holroyd. He is massive for his age, but has more to his game than just size. It’s all in his head now, what he wants to do in the game and the sacrifices you must make to cut it at the highest level.

Thing is if he does make the grade we’ll have a job keeping him out of Australia! Can’t win really can you?

I don’t think this squad is good enough for silverware but another year or two and we should be at least back up towards the top, and consistently too.

Re Oledzski, he needs more time but he does need to get more aggression into his game. Will be better coming in as an impact prop among more senior players this year I think. Be interesting to see which props get picked for first team beyond Prior and Ava.

Oledzki has to be making serious metres in a year or two. I don't see any other role for him.

No, Oledzki is more a Chris Feather build.

Oledski is heading more towards a Tom Burgess build

19 man squad with Myler and Crosby to miss out on the 17. Time for Sutcliffe to up his game and make back row his position.

If you have a hooker on the bench I don't think there's room for a lightweight second row.
