No Gelling, Sarginson, Charnley or Davies to help them outMike wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:52 pm I guess that when we signed Burgess, everyone reckoned we needed a big prop.

Is prop the position we need to strengthen most? We did struggle to make metres in quite a few games last season, and i think our younger prop options aren't the greatest at that side of the game yet. So perhaps it is still a high priority area.
Its true, wingers, FB and centres do the majority of metre making these days. I thought losing Marshall was a big blow for us last year as most of the metres from the back three came from him.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:00 pmNo Gelling, Sarginson, Charnley or Davies to help them outMike wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:52 pm I guess that when we signed Burgess, everyone reckoned we needed a big prop.

Im the same mind Dave,saves a few quid on the wages to maybe be spent later on in the season.
