Props

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

Chris Green, Hull FC prop? If so he’s 30 years old, 17 stone, 6ft 3 inches tall. Did his Achilles in 2018.

Why can't we sign a younger prop, say 25/26 with his best years ahead of him?

Or even Dan Murray, a Wigan lad, on loan at HKR from Salford? Although I can't understand why Salford keep putting him out on loan? 🤔

You just advocated the attempt to re-sign Hock on the Hock tretirement thread. Whilst I am completely uninspired by our recruitment, other than Hastings, Green has played in Super League regularly, is 5 years younger and is performs to a higher standard than Hock between 33-34 years of age which is when I assume we made the attepmt.

Where do you get this sh*te from? 🤔And you've gone off topic!
Off topic, half the topic is about escare . Not sh*te - fact. If you don’t want to believe it don’t.

I didn't advocate signing Hock! I said it was a "gesture" from Rads not that he should have gone through with it!

Apologies about the "off topic" remark. I still don't believe the other comment.

Although this is the rumours section & lots of sh*te does get spouted 😂

He was rumoured last year for us wasn't he? Slipped down the pecking order with Walmsley & Thompson.

He's 32

I hadn’t realised he was that old. I also like Green, from what I have seen of him. Radford likes his props to be naturally big and direct, which is what we lack. I wonder whether Wane had a preference for bulked up second rowers because that was what he was as a player, while Radford goes for naturally big lads as they fit his mould...

Wane was a prop forward shirt number 10 😊
