We have four props, two of them may be youngsters but I think everyone needs to start somewhere, give them a chance. One young prop with an experienced prop and the other two on the bench then Dennis can rotate the players and its all good!

Wouldn'y say it was all good personally. There's quite a difference between rotating props, giving the young guys a chance and throwing them in the deep end!

There will be injuries in the season.
To try to go through the season with 2 front line props will be suicide.
Look what happened with the props last year only we dont have faz to bail us out for the next 4 months.

I suggest we sign a prop on loan if we are keeping Davico, but its not as simple as that most players will be signed up as it is the start of a new season. I think Hargreaves would do well with the experience because hes a big lad and when he plays he seems to do quite well

We need to know the extent of the damage first, it might not be as bad as it seems. Knowing Wigan though it probobly is!

I wonder if Bradford would release Stuart Fielden for a few months. I WISH

We need a 3rd experienced front line prop.
We will get injuries and its unfair to ask hargrieves and prescott to play week in week out.

We had no go forward at salford with prescot and hargrieves at prop.
Then we lost the midfield battle and subsequently the game against an average salford team.
They are not good enough yet for week in week out first team football.
We need a 3rd choice prop with experience. maybe a signing a la quentin pongia or even CRAIG SMITH!
