Give your heads a bang. Greens ok but has no consistency, Bowden is poor and doesn't look like he wants to be there most of time. Carvell and Mason would be good quality grind it out forwards who would work a lot with the forwards we already have.

For once in ages im excited about the possibility of players coming in and its seeming Radford has got a clue as he's addressing key issues or so it seems. Carvell, Mason and Gale in would make us a top 8 team with grunt who could go further.

He'll need an operation

The current "activity" is basically down to circumstance, and hopefully we can improve the squad as a result.

Maybe Shannon McDonnell not being available for selection for 6 months is a factor?

Why did we let Andy Lynch go? If we knew we was going to struggle for grafting props. Even ogre wanted to do a u-turn on retirement, bomber & gentles recruitment baffles me!

Possibly, maybe, have heard the rumour which would explain Mason

Think it's a value for money decision, especially around McDonnell & Miller. Hard to disagree, although I would have liked Miller to have been given more of a chance.

yet Radford said we did not need any more props last year. Now he has obviously decided we do.
Now with less that a week till kick off we are desperatley trying to sign forwards. Think the game against Fev showed him how lacking we are up front.

From watching wigan v hudds, I think our current bunch of front rowers are to light & nice to compete in a wrestle & bully/dominate, but the halfs need this to happen to get on the front foot, been in-experienced in the halfs also is a massive worry imo.

I'd heard he may need op, so you are ahead of me if he's already had it, as mentioned, explains the need for Mason
