It wasnt so much a prospect to be but is the best prop outside super league. I preferred matt james to maloney. Dickens , tonks, hill, mcdermott, stringer i would rate better and thats just off the top of my head. There is no doubt dom had potential but best prop outside super league is getting a bit giddy, just my opinion like.

talking of props leads me onto my only concern so far. Ive seen all our games ,bar the Toulouse match , and in the 3 games against pro opposition , only once have our forwards gained an upper hand ; against Oldham when we had 4 props in the 17 including Aizue and Watene . I just think that without those 2 we are too lightweight.

I was on about how we hadn't replaced Dom the other day, Gannon has proved to be a good signing with a string of impressive performances, I wasnt too sure when we signed him, but he's done well, but like someone said to me, he's a good replacement for Wrench, not Dom.

Dom was our enforcer, the sort of player who, if the opposition were getting in our faces, would get back at them, and if needs be rough them up. bit of a hot head, but sometimes thats needed, Tamghart was similar as well, this year we dont have a player like that,
