...on a separate topic I see Wire have moved to correct their prop shortage, with one this year and two next. Wonder if we'll see similar activity once Smith gets a feel for the squad?

It is to be hoped so don't think there is a Leeds supporter who dosen't think the front row needs strengthening.

Wolves have now also signed Kyle Amor on a short term loan deal until the end of the season too
Amor was just a young kid in 2009 when we initially signed him and he was also well down the pecking order whilst he was at the club

I'd have taken him on a similar loan deal, Although Warrington have probably offered him silly money just to keep Daryll happy

Would have been a good short term option for us this year imo.

He's presumably living St Helens way. It'd be tough to persuade him to commute to Leeds to play for a team fighting relegation when he could play for a similar status team much closer to home.

How old is Kasiano?
He is the type of player that would go well for us just like Paasi at Saints.
Warrington signing more props than a theatre production.

Seb Ikahihifo ooc I believe. Decent signing as a 3rd or 4th prop I reckon

We may need a 2nd choice given priors apparent demise and possible retirement.

Has there actually been any speculation about Prior retiring other than on this site?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Wed May 25, 2022 7:50 pm  

We need to sign at least 2 props for next season, possibly 3 if both Thompson and Prior leave, and even 4 if we also lose Tetevano.

We cannot run with any less than 6 genuine props in a squad, 4 on match days.

And then there’s the next to useless go forward of Tetevano. God help us if our one actual ‘proper’ prop, Oledski (Holroyd yet to prove his body can withstand the rigours of a full season…but time on his side still) were to get a long term injury
