Too under resourced in the front row for King to go on loan.

I agree.I'd be surprised if he is anywhere near the squad initially but with another month of training and a couple of injuries I would imagine agar will want to keep him around.

I think if he’s going to progress to anything like he needs game minutes so I’d have him on the bench, he’s played so little rugby looking at his 5 games with the Warriors.

Surely, Leeds vs Cas should have been the home game with Leeds vs Cas the away game then there could be no criticism.

If he's good enough for 5 NRL games with Warriors, sure he can cope with a bench spot here. Would make zero sense to use an overseas spot on someone we have no intention of playing. He'll get better and better as season go's on. Will bring some aggression off the bench...

Tough one .For me he probably isn't good enough yet for the bench,but he won't become good enough unless he gets some game time. Another month of fitness and decent coaching will no doubt improve him though.
In an ideal world he'd get 3/4 games at fev playing decent minutes but with covid, and fev having a decent side it ain't going to happen.

I don't think he'll make the bench for the first few games unless we have injuries. Dywer,Thompson,Donaldson,Smith,Holroyd,King and Walters for mine are realistically vying for the 4 bench spots.

I'd actually forgotten about smith. All things being equal I would have thought that Dywer,smith and holroyd pick themselves.

I personally would go for Thompson, Dywer. Smith and Walters. Smith to 13 after 25 minutes.Prior then to
move to front row. Thompson covers both prop and backrow. Walters to replace Mellor in second half. I think Agar will go for Thompson Dywer Smith Donaldson.

I'd always have a fit holroyd on the bench.
