Yeah Davies has played prop too mate.

Not at under 19 level he hasn't. He had a very good second half of last season.

No surprises there and I guess all the rumours of us signing someone else were just speculative. For me one big forward short of winning a trophy next season. We need a big angry Samoan to top things off IMO.

I think were a good quality prop away from dominating the league 2006 style. The above squad is good enough to replicate this years achievements, but probably with the same rollercoaster ride!

Since we still have a chunk of cap space it can be used to keep what we have and add to it next year so it can only be good

He has mate. I've seen him play there myself.

Well it must have been in the one academy game I missed last year, because he was ever present in the second row in all season long, playing 80 minutes in most, if not all, games. He's a good lad.

I thought he'd played a few at prop this year as well, but i've just looked through all the reports from the u19s this year and he's named at second row in them all.

He's moved to prop during games I meant sorry. Twice I've been there and he has moved to prop to cover someone going off.

If Wellens' wages are stopping us from adding another forward to that squad, then that is annoying. Was made for him to retire after OT.

We have cap space, but for whatever reason we just aren't going for another forward. I think we could even afford the winger we were after (and he was on a lot!) but we decided it wasn't worth it (rightfully so)

Our lack of recruitment is by choice at this point, I can only hope it's because we have a plan for next year (keeping Walsh/ Masoe/ Jones) and targeting some of the quality available, as there's quite a few very good players available next year imo...

Who was the winger?

How do you know we have cap space???
