That's a different thing.
Playing a top quality player at International because they play well anywhere and you have another top quality player to backfill, and you have a temporary gap for one game is not the same as playing a second row at prop at club level.

If we have an injury then of course. And versatility is very important for our team. But if you have to consciously play a second row at prop in the first game of the season, or consistently through the season...you need another prop.

You only need to look at Tanginoa. Absolutely criminal how he was played at prop for such a prolonged period.

Even though he had hands like cow udders at times he was good at second row and barely average at prop yet we continued to prop him. Truly bizarre that was.

McMeeken had never played prop until McNamara moved him there for the third game of the season.

But we don't need to.
Lots of SR become prop but we don't need him to move and we need SRs.

Reports we are competing with Catalan for MacDonald
I keep saying I'm happy with our team but he would be a great addition.
He and Tom would be devastating together

McDonald,if we could get him, is too good to miss.We have plenty of centres who are quality and in a year or two could be exceptional, but nobody near him at the moment.

Johnstone and Macdonald would be hands down the best wing partnership in SL. Would be an absolute nightmare for defences to manage. Give either the space and could be fatal.

I have no problem and would rather us sign players who would improve our 17. Macdonald or Stone fall into that.

We may have 6 players who can play centre but Macdonald would improve us for a couple of years.

I would be tempted to offer to send a centre on season long loan their way in return. Someone like Myers who could get some SL games under his belt at no cost to Salford and no risk to trinity. With a recall clause ofcourse.

This guy would be a definite upgrade on Bain and would give real competition for places at prop…. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepai_Moeroa

They have their own kids.
It wouldn't be fair on him to send Myers.

I'm with Trojan on this one...think Myers would be more than happy to be playing SL every week with Salford rather than in our reserves ??
