Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Definate sway in balance in favour of 2nd rowers to props in the squad. I dont buy this Wilkes is a 2nd rower stuff. He has been a Super League prop for 5 years now.
That said, we still only have 3 out and out props in the squad, which makes you wonder why we got Kirmond and Raleigh from the Giants when we did. Strange as it may sound as they have been 2 of our more consistent players, when we had the players we had already signed on, could the money have been spent better elsewhere??

Why not look at giving Tom Lillycrop a full time deal?
Couple of other potential signings: Mike Burnett (Might be injured, not see him featuring for Hull), Jordan Cox (Again might be injured, but he looks like a good prospct), Luke Ambler/Brad Singleton (One of these would surely be allowed out on loan), Steve Crossley (Left Bradford to join Dewsbury at the end of the season, he looks like a pontential SL player), Sam Barlow (More of a second rower, but he's definitely big and strong enough to play prop), Gil Dudson (Get him on loan from Wigan?).
Just a few potential. Steve Crossley is probably the most likely of all of those. None of them are "big scary props" (like Moi Moi or Moa) but as long as they make metres going forward, I don't mind.

what about Craig Rhodes from Stanley? played at Leeds & Bradford in his teens. ruggered old fashioned prop give him the ball and the boy will run hard everytime. In a fulltime enviroment he could be a beast like a pale moi moi.

Back injury. And in all honesty, if it's a prop you want I wouldn't go near him. He's an ok backrower, but never a prop IMO. | | | |

It's only when you sit down and go through who may be available that you can understand why we have gone with what we have. Apart from Rhodesy at Stanley the rest listed are no closer to being Super League props than the 2nd rowers we are asking to do the job.
Crossley maybe just cos of his size but he didn't really pull up any trees for Bradford other than one game against us. Surprised Thackray hasn't been mentioned based on the quality listed here!
