New Prop

[widdenoldboy]

I don't think you can blame anyone for being pessimistic when it comes to us signing props. People are probably expecting the worst given some of our previous signings.

Still, with Clubb (hopefully), Bullock and Clark leaving at the end of the season we'll need signings at prop rather than just bringing in one player.

On the one hand this has a bit of a Mitch Clark feel. He had a decent game against us and ran the ball strongly but didn't exactly look too impressive at Huddersfield or London previously in Super League. He's a big player and maybe has some room to improve but he'll be 28 when he starts playing for us and that's usually when a forward is hitting their peak. On the other hand one of our issues is our pack getting dominated and not making strong carries and even if Mason is 4th choice prop if he gives some improvement in that regard then he could be a useful signing.

If we sign him then I'll reserve judgement until he's at least played a few more games this season and then we might see how he fits into our pack.

Sidlow did far more damage.

I reckon Sidlow could do a decent job for us if we signed another big prop.

The downside is he misses quite a few tackles and so does Mason.

So does bullock

[pedro]

Some of our most successful prop signings came from even lower levels than Mason. Bullock himself for example.

In what context do you view Bullock as being successful?

Some decent performances in a small pack, anyway Wire liked what they saw.

They also liked kibula....

Comes here with a dodgy hip gets it done here (probably on the NHS!) then buggers off back to the NRL

Kibula didn't have a good performance at SL level

I agree. I don’t think Bullock has been the success he should have been, but signing like for like may not prove to be wise.

Bullock for me has been flat average had high hopes for him but I don’t know he just hasn’t pushed on
