The thing is if a big line breaking forward became available every other team would want them too.

Re: 2016 Squad : Fri Oct 16, 2015 3:14 pm  

I'm not talking about top line internationals, there must be more dynamic powerful type forwards out there we could get. They won't be top quality, maybe slight gambles but if they're in the same mould as our signings so far I.e. Young and promising then that's fine by me. We need a couple so badly.

Mitch Allgood is the closest thing we have to a barnstorming prop. If we can be lucky and have him for the majority of the season then I'm ok with our forwards. Walker, Allgood, Green, Greenwood and Tilse isn't too shabby. The only thing we are missing is a Micky paea type player.

I expect we will still have a couple of forward loan signings to announce, further down the line

Yes we did get bullied in the forwards last season but do people forget we went into some games last season with Adam walker as our only prop tilse came in midway not ideal coming to a different comp puletua played as a prop when he's a second row again coming in midway same with greenwood weyman retired Bailey not turning up the pack was never settled having to use larroyer in a different way losing Blair out of the pack to cover the halves our pack isn't as bad as people are making out

couldn't agree more

Leeds must have a young prop spare after signing two new props I remember seeing a young lad Mulhearn I think was his name big lump of a lad good pair of hands and made plenty of yards surely lads like him should be taken in to consideration

Re: 2016 Squad : Sun Oct 18, 2015 12:39 pm  

Robbie mulhearn is the lad your thinking of a very promising prop who has played 3 times for the 1st team and played for ireland in the european championship.Today is his 21st birthday and the sort of player jamie peacock would know all about,and I believe is just what we need,bearing in mind his chances at leeds would appear to be limited.It seems however,at the start of last season he was handed number 25 as a 1st team squad number and a 3 yr deal,which would have 2 yrs still to run,but you never know.
