We already have our project, it's Kieran Hudson. We didn't really need to sing Eseh or Okoro, we need someone who can come into the main 4 rotation as the leader, not someone who can be prop 6 or 7 and play half a dozen games a year max. If that means we wait until next year so be it.

Someone like Burgess or JWH ? But we've been through that the more learned rugby people on here say the former is too old and later too rough and physical.

Yep agreed overall, although I do think either Eseh or Okoro could have been useful this year. Lisone might not be around for forever or Sangare, and maybe only one of Eseh, Okoro or Hudson might really make it….

I do think there could be a player in Hudson but he is a project for sure.

We have one or two academy prospects at prop but they all need a fair bit of physical development before first grade.

Agree with Batley.
We badly need an established first choice prop at priority #1 now

Heard you're one of the clubs interested in Jack Brown from Hull. Not sure hes what you need though, another small middle.

Wouldn't suprise me.
RS seems to love his small middles

Goudemand,Ruan,Bentley,Gannon,McDonnell and maybe Martin. We don't need to replace Donaldson, we need to replace Tetevano/Walters, Fusitua and if unlucky,Martin.

We have lots of workmen,need some thing else from any incoming and not more of the same

Holroyd is the enigma for me when he came back he looked every bit a prop should be tough a bit nasty with it but now he's like a shadow of that player has he been told to not be aggressive like Bentley im told the coach wants his players to be competitive but no more.

Spot on.
We had 2 strike players in Hurrell and then Macdonald to be replaced by a workhorse who isn`t working very hard!
We need a Sironen or a Fitzgibbon type second rower imo and a prop who can run hard.
Tom Davies would have been ideal to replace Fusitua.
