We have got to be in for a 2nd row as we can't count on Gannon and one serious injury to Bentley or McDonnell leaves us very light.
Personally, I would like another second row and another prop but can't see that happening.
Yeah that's a bit light isn’t it.. I think we’ve enough for top 6 if injuries don’t hit too hard but that second row needs beefing up to push for top 3
Someone said Gannon has bulked up. I always thought he might make a prop as he gets older, in the way JP and Morley did. Probably a bit early (and risky with the head knocks), but I could see it happening in the future if he can stay fit.

I've always thought he's a natural for a modern day thirteen. If,and it's a big if, he can get past his concussion issues I think he could really put pressure on Cam Smith. I don't think Smith is a bad player but potential wise Gannon's ceiling is much higher. However, for the moment I think we need to take it one step at a time and ease him back in (bit by bit) as a bench second row.

Smith does a huge amount of tackles. With Gannon coming back after a year off with concussion issues I wouldn't think making him a tackling machine would be a good idea. Hope to see him as more of an attacking threat. Really haven't seen enough of him in a Leeds shirt to know how good he really is however it looks like the club has confidence in him long term.

Yep, and that's why I said they should reintroduce him as a bench second row. That said, if he gets beyond the concussion, I think 13 will eventually be his optimal position.
