Crosby didnt play against Catalan.
He was on the field against Wigan but he did more shirt grabbing than an under 8's team.
He was awfull against wigan and it wouldnt suprise me if it was his last.
Its a shame because he just doesnt look like a rugby league player any more.
We have effectively played the last 3 seasons with a prop down. Having said that Saints have had the same this year with Walmsley out injured and they have coped.

Barba and the superb form of Roby once again being their diffence.

Saints have a superb back line ,passionate about the club , committed to success & with the ability to mesmerise & open up most defences without the need of blockbusting overkill by the pack. A joy to watch on their day.

I went to London Broncos vs Halifax yesterday and got a good look at Matt Davies.

He is keen, energetic and, in build terms, is a slightly more solid Benjamin Jullien. He put in a number of heavy hits on the big Halifax pack, with one going too high and costing his side a penalty.

I have a big question mark over his size as a SL-standard prop, and Wires71 and Lefty will be calling him rude names before we are even done with pre-season friendlies. But he is a hard worker, has a bit of footwork and can get a pass away.

Signing for us as a backrower not a prop I think.

That's great, sounds a lot better than King and Crosby anyway. He does play second row or loose forward at the moment so wouldn't actually be worried about his size.

It's Matt Davis (sorry to correct), not to be confused with Matt Davies who is a little half back for London.

Looking at off contract SL props I think Anthony Mullally hasn't signed a new deal yet. I think he would do a really good job for us.

Also coming to us would certainly put him closer to family.

nah, i'd steer clear of him, he's been highly rated ever since coming back from oz but underwhelming, he's part of leeds problems up front this year.

Maybe he's getting confused with Anthony Mundine?
