He fills another body for us in a position we are down on numbers, and as someone else has said, probably takes up the spot England left.
I'm not sure we will see another prop come in now.
We will probably run with Hill & Dodds starting, with Westwood and Sims off the bench.
That would then leave us with Evans, Cox then King, probably in that order Do we need an 8th prop, especially now we have Westerman to play 13?
Looking around our major competitors I'd say Leeds and Huddersfield look good up front, then us & saints with Wigan trailing - But the Pies always seem greater than the sum of their parts. Honorable mention to Hull who's front row looks good, but back row with Manu, Pritchard & Minichello looks especially good.
