Just thinking if we struggle to find a prop, would it be worth signing Tuson and moving Cahill to the front row?? just a thought given english props are bit tough to find (experienced ones at that).

Maybe a loan for Richard Moore if he cant get much game time at Leeds?

Gill Dudson's name was mentioned a while back and I would also like us to think about bringing Dom Crosby over, but I doubt we could get either with Wigan losing Mossop. Crosby is reportedly off contract at the end of the season, but I feel sure that Wigan will re-sign him (if they haven't already!).

No, we shouldn't move Cahill or anyone else to the front row. We're a small enough side as it is. We need one or two big men up front.

I do hope we can find one, Crosby maybe an option but we need experience really.

Experienced props are pretty thin on the ground, we might have to settle for a younger prop(s) and rely on the likes of Tickle and Galea to add experience elsewhere in the pack. Over recent games our younger smaller props have all made decent yards, where we have been vulnerable is putting the brakes on the bigger sides when they get on a roll.

Mind you cant think of too many younger props who might be available either! Is there anybody with potential at Worky who might be worth a punt?

Tony Clubb? Not totally convinced by him myself but he can play prop and back row and centre! Wants out of London.

What happened to Frank Winterstein ? Has he gone back home or is he staying in SL ?

Powerful back line player available if we have room on this quota kolpack stuff. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl ... public_rss

With the new rules we should have 2 extra non fed trained places. Assuming Ah Van is as Kolpac player then one of those two could be an overseas quota player as well (if Galea comes over on a Maltese passport that could be 2 Overseas slots). I would like to use them for experienced props (or at least one prop). Maybe that might help us firm up the Kafusi signing.
