Bit of a blow this but prop is a strong area for us so we should be able to cover.

Walmsley, Hill, Graham and T Burgess certs for the squad. Cuthbertson, Cooper and Amor in with a shout.

I wouldn't begrudge Andy Lynch getting a shot either, i'm not sure if he is still up for selection at 35 but he has been superb for Cas this year whenever i have seen him.

I don't understand why we let Andy Lynch go. Superb for Hull in his two years for us and then we just let him go early after we paid a fee? Strange.

Cuthbertson? Isn't he an Aussie? I know he's got English heritage somewhere but are we really desperate to go this route?

Cuthbertson's dad is English, it's hardly 'going down a route'

This is a big blow, we do have depth at prop, but Burgess is the best ball carrier we have.

Cuthbertson should be selected at 13.

At least he'd lose his virginity.

You can add Liam Watts to the list of possibles too. He's been very good this year IMO.

Cuthbertson's way off where he was form-wise. I wouldn't consider him unless he shows a revival over the remaining games.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tony Clubb is in contention for the squad, been absolutely superb for Wigan this season. Our only reliable front rower.

This was explained on here a few days back, think it said something like Green was outperforming him, Lynch was looking very very tired at the back end of 2013 and not anywhere near as effective as he had been, probably freeing up cap space too and he'd have been 34 in 2014. If what was said is true then it was out of gentle's hands in any case.

Damn, with Hargreaves out I thought we had the upper hand in the prop dept but this puts us back down to them. Big loss but still not as bad as the kiwi squads losses at this point.






WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......
