Sorry for doing this as I know it annoys people but don't post things like this often anyway. Been told this morning we are signing a prop, name mentioned isn't Mitch Clark but source has dealings with the player in question and is going to meet with the Bulls with him supposedly. Sorry for the vagueness guys

Well that's clear as mud!

To be honest, I don't see why we'd sign another prop. It's abundantly clear that Lowes regards Clough and Sidlow as his starting props, with Lauaki and Crossley on the bench. It's going to take an absolute earthquake to change that, it seems. That leaves Fleming, Taharoui and any new signing scrabbling around for any occasional appearances, or covering the odd injury.

We already had two props this season who never played a game! So why does it seem that we are intent on adding to the prop roster?

I know sorry, just like the bits of info he gives me as he sometimes has his finger in the pulse with some stuff and has some connections in the right places. All I will say is it could divide opinion (the player)

leigh are supposed to be offering sam barlow around. guess he'd divide opinion.

Re: 2016 Squad Requirements : Thu Oct 29, 2015 1:16 pm  

a quality prop and a quality scrum half...

an experienced 9 to give a bit more diversity in attack.

then we are sorted,

our backs are good enough in my opinion, if Jimmy uses them properly which is the problem.

We won't be signing a seven or a nine I don't think. We have three hookers in the first team squad now (AoB, Halafihi and Joe Lumb) and there are other players that can do spells at nine when Adam needs a rest.

Our options for a seven are pretty much over now after Gareth O' Brien went to Salford and Liam Finn went to Wakefield. I cannot think of any other scrum halves that we could realistically have a chance of signing.

I wouldn't want Barlow either. He looks out of shape and I also think the guy is a few sandwiches short of a picnic
