Big blow for him! Similar to Prescott last season. Just as he is hitting his best form the lad gets injured.

I'll bet Neil Holland is a bit sick at the moment. This could have been an opportunity for him, but I don't think he'll be available until around June time.

How old are the next string of potential props? IMO they have next to no chance. Nobby will pick Hock and even Bailey at prop before them should we get another injury.

Neil Holland has just turned 20 and Ben Davies is 19.

Seeing as we have 4 x frontline props in the squad I don't think currently there is a need to.
Hock has been playing like a 3rd prop at times during the season so I don't see that being a problem & with our wealth of back row talent at the moment asking Bailey to do 2 x 15/20min spells at prop wouldn't be too much of an ask if one of the other 5 got injured IMO.

They should give Neil a go - on the basis that he had a couple of games of touch and pass with us when he was 15 we can claim him as the first player to graduate from the Riversiders to the 1st team

Bailey played at prop in a dire emergency! There is no way he can be considered there.
