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.

Quote="Stand-Offish"A bullocking prop, like Whitehaven favour would be nice.
They had one called Bullock before he went to Wigan ...hence bullocking.
But Oldham got promoted on the back of Danny Bridge and Danny Langtree, mobile ..second rowers.
I think RH is happy with mobile forwards and might not be that bothered about another big prop.
I would like another
">personally.'"
I think you're right. RH seems to prefer mobile forwards. It's great to be able to exploit space quickly but you also need size and weight to drive away from your own line, and suck in the other team's defence with the threat posed by a big guy when near the opponent's line.
The latter two points emphasise where I believe we've been weak in recent seasons.

you may still get your wish - on the interview on the article about Ollet's versatility RH mentions that now that we do not have a dual reg agreement we need a bigger squad than last season.
Looking at the squad for last year including loans but nor DR we had 26 players
To match this we need 3 more, so maybe another 3 signings then see which of the trialists is worth a punt in the friendlies
