The club made a decision to run at least 1 prop short at the start of the year. Mik is the only one not to let the club down so far this year. I hope the kid comes in and does well.

Shocking how far leeds have fallen as a club when they have to sign a wakefield 2nd teamer on loan, surely theres an acadmey player you can play?

Props Aren't exactly known for their cunning TBF.
Prior must be retiring soon,Tet has literally spent more games suspended than played I think?.
Holroyd has Promise,don't know enough to comment on Mustaffa.

What we need and what we can realistically do are very different but we badly need a pack leader and a battering ram. Without that fixing for next season we will be right back here again.

That said, the disciplinary panel is so inconsistent on who gets called up and who doesnt (for similar rules infractions) it's literally pot luck,just hope it's a clean sheet player and not a Bentley otherwise you're going to cop the maximum and appeals make it worse.

Not sure what the problem is tbh.
We have no props.
He's a prop.
The end.

I wonder if we will only sign Sangàre for next season now that Walters looks like he's got the makings of a decent prop.

I think its clear that Sangarre was signed for 2023 onwards. I can only think that some announcements are being held back for season ticket time.

I have no problem with this signing on a short-term basis. One of the reasons we've got in a mess is making emergency signings of players who we're then stuck with for years. This is a no-regret loan signing, and there will be very few clubs willing to release decent props at this stage of the season. I hope he goes well.

Aye! I think he wants Junior Paulo to do a fortnight stint for us!

More hyperbole

If that's the case, we will still be under powered in the front row for next season. We need to sign 2 props. Don't forget the club included Muizz in the notional rotation for this season...

Interesting listening to the Lot Pod with Barry McDermott - he said we have a couple of signings on the radar that will please the fans if they come off I reckon we have a top line Prop in our sights, who that is/they are he wouldn’t say

One is deffo Luke Thompson according to Sharky..

You said it because he's a Wakefield player not because of who he is. You're judging the Jersey not the player and that annoys me.

Trinity at the moment are a dreadful RL team, we simply can't play RL properly or even effectively.

However that doesn't mean that because we can't produce a good team that we don't have good players, we have a fair few. Why they don't gel I couldn't say.

Aydin is a very good up and coming prop. He's probably not first team regular just yet but he's well worth two games as cover. You are lucky to get him.

I suspect the reason you are is that someone is possibly coming the other way to us as a loan, and we think being at a bigger club that is doing better than we are will do him more good than being cannon fodder in an underperforming team.

I was judging the fact that he hasn't been getting in a team that's been struggling at the bottom end. If he'd have been playing regularly for you (he wouldn't be available) I'd not have that judgement.

Thinking of an equivalent would you be excited about a prop from Batley who wasn't getting in the team going to wakey.

Now who's being hyperbolic.

Who on here is 'excited' about a two week loan? it's simply a prop to cover whilst we haven't got any. Who knows we may even have found a gem who is out of contract next season and won't cost much!

But it simply doesn't work like that. It's never that simple.

He has played a fair few games this season but he's at that age where he only does play a few games at a time, he's young.

What you need to take into account is that we are not struggling for numbers, especially props. We have 7 available props, We have no injury crisis we are just playing very badly. Hence you tend to go with senior players in this situation.

As for the Batley reference, well we aren't Batley are we. We may play like them or possibly worse at the moment but Aydin is a full time SL player, not a part timer. So there is zero similarity. What you are getting is a graduate from one of SL's better Academies who is not totally green. As I say you are lucky to have him for two games.

Try and rejoice that there are still a few decent youngsters coming through and are being shared around instead of knocking them.

Hope you don't for obvious reasons, but that's exactly the point I was making. Good players don't always arrive with a huge reputation but some bad ones definitely do.

Come on Seth - Leeds are not Saints - they have 5 points more than Wakey!!

Again, you've clearly never watched him.

One is a better more famous player but there is no extreme. You do realise Aydin is not some kid just lifted from the Academy

We literally have one recognised prop. I would take anyone who has played prop in SL for the next two weeks just to help us out.

You never know, Wakefield might be loaning us their star prop hoping it helps us to do them a favor by beating Toulouse!!!

What’s Ryan Bailey up to these days?

I’m joking of course. Aydin fills a gap for two weeks. He could earn himself a contract here or else where. Win win all round.

As the weeks gone on, I've got more excited to see what Yusuf brings. There must be a reason the club have taken him over others and from what vastman has said, he's got potential.

2 weeks gives him a chance to impress, not just in gamed but in training and potentially earn a deal with us (sounds like he's well down the pecking order at Wakey). We have a shortage at prop with no players looking ready to step up from the Academy. People say about having 6 props in the squad, amd he has the potential to be one.

And on the flip, without over thinking, we have 1 available prop who himself is a young lad. No doubt he's been over worked the last few seasons already. Would have been negligent by the club not to bring someone in

I agree with this.
It is a position we have to strengthen in further, but he may have enough potential to add to the strength in depth that we are desperately short of in the front row.

Wakey have recalled Aydin.

I thought he went well and would have liked to have kept him, Wakey say they have offered him a contract but he hasn’t signed I wonder wether it was our plan to get him into the set up with a view to offering him a deal for next year?

Great attitude, just not big enough to be a front line Prop, bit like Muzzy and Donno.

You can decide that at your leisure as Trinity will be relegated and Aydin can go where he likes.
