Calm down a bit, we beat a very poor Cas team in a preseason friendly

If I remember correctly it was during the Ray Batten era when we had Steve Tinker, Adrian Barwood, Topliss, Agar, Juliff, Diamond and co. Loads of genuine pace couples]d with some masterful creative rugby brains

It's just a move. It doesn't mean I think we are Melbourne. I just think the players we have can make it work as their skills lend themselves to that move.

Yes that would be Topliss and Agar doing the trickery behind the scrum to release whoever. Remember it well.

I must admit as a club, I thought we were kind of past developing other clubs youth for them. I understand there is probably a benefit in it for us in the short term as it gives us an extra body but are we really that desperate for a prop? We are probably after another one with the quota spot we have I would assume but in the meantime could we not call on Shaw and give him a chance?

I would very much think Shaw is in the frame, but really we need 6 props. I wouldn't necessarily take him if we had other options to recruit someone permanently.
