Also, to add on Keith Mason, would he have had any sort of pre-season? I doubt it. That's a big risk looking for a prop who's had months away from full-time training.

I dunno if this is contradictory but I stiil think we should be banging down the door of Lee Jewitt.

The problem with Fielden and Mason is no 3 month pre season (and SF may have a permanent injury?). If the Bulls can afford to wait approx. 6+ weeks for match fitness then these guys may be an option.

Why not look at guys no getting into a 'top 6' side who need game time for a loan. Giants have 3 good guys in Mullally, Nathan Mason and Johnson and there are at least a couple of very good guys at Saints. Well coached / match fit and probably low cost.

We need experienced players in and fast. Not chaps looking for a breakthrough.

Re: Rumours : Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:53 pm  

To be fair, I'd have a word about Mullally. He seems to be out of favour. I'd still want someone experienced too though, and I don't feel we'd have the luxury of getting both!

Sorry my error. I thought you needed props fit enough and good enough to play approximately 2 x 20 mins per game. I did not appreciate that 'experience' was the main requirement. Good luck.

Paul clough - not favoured by brown, and behind the seemingly endless supply of young props we blooded last year he's not gonna get much game time at saints. Still played 100ish games and more than capable

Would be more than happy to see Clough come in. Although I doubt Saints would be willing to release or lend us him as I imagine that he will be needed at some point during the season for them.

Apparently we told him half way through last season if he found another team we wouldn't stop him leaving (the lad was gutted) - and rumours are abound this week as he's the obvious exception to those who were out on dual reg - so read into that as you will.

As I say, where somewhat blessed in the prop/ second row department so wouldn't surprise me if clough left, and you guys seem in need!

Good call. Tipped by Cunningham a few years ago as a future international.
