Holroyd out for 12 week surely we need to bring someone in now - worried it’s just a little bit late in the day

Who though? Full overseas quota and most domestic sides as light at prop as we are. Maybe Fev would loan us Ferres..

Just need to hold our nerve I think. Agar was talking about him returning for round 7. We still have four regular props. Bright side for me is that Cam Smith should definitely get a starting spot at 13.

4 regular props? Prior, Tet, Mik & Thompson or Muizz? I can envisage that it's going to hold us back on not just the one occasion this year though rightly anyone coming in would have to be better than those mentioned.

Well that's the thing isn't it? Nobody out there that I can think of and no room for an overseas option either. We rolled the dice when we filled the last quota spot with a winger. Think we'll have to stick with the hand we dealt ourselves in the short term.

It was pretty risky going in with just 4 recognised 'senior props' (Holroyd being on the looser end of that description too) next of the rank will be the 'middles' *shudders* of Thompson and Donaldson as muizz was ready to be loaned out.

Yep, I like that idea.

For what it's worth I think Thompson is a bit underrated. Saw him have some good games at prop at the back end of last season. Maybe his new "go faster" haircut will take him to the next level. It is worrying though. One more poorly prop and we are in the poop.

Let`s hope Tet has got his tackling technique sorted.

The tank doesn't seem that robust.
