Please don't take this as sour grapes, just mine an many KR fans opinion, why you let Johnson go is daft on so many levels, he was great on loan from us, has bags of potential and you paid a bob or 2 on him from Cas. When he matures he will do just fine as his core skills are x5 of Mulhern.

As for Mulhern, he came to us on loan, 23 and too old for academy and he came as a big unit, did really well and when we signed him the east stand had a hard on.

However he did that daft thing and went vegan, his size seemed to go big time, and an example of his performance was receiving the ball on kick off and getting nailed asap, he has no go forward at all. Honestly this is not a dig but I am really happy with the swap. Wait and see, he is 26 now, and has shown no potential.

Feel free to bookmark this page and pull it out when he is in the England squad and ripping it up in S.L, but like I said I'm afraid you have signed the wrong kid.

Going vegan didn't hurt mike cooper

Fair enough each to their own oppinion, but we need a Prop not a second rower playing Prop. He's had a fair few games for us Johnson and apart from his debut game has been completely average at best. Mulhern has a full game for England and toured with the England knights so he is much better suited for what we need. I like Johnson and hope he does well, could just be a case of bad coaching from us so if he goes to you and kicks on then fair play. And as Fantastic Mr.cat says going Vegan has been immense for Mike Cooper, so the advice from cooper on his diet and the experience he can teach Mulhern will be immense

cooper is in a diffrent league to mulhern and johnson at the moment , i would say its a fair swap,mulhern more experienced and johnsons got more potential everybodys happy i hope

With two Veggies and a Curry in there, our pack is definately not to be sniffed at

Cooper is actually Pescetarian isn't he? Didn't he lose too much going Vegan and decide to add seafood into his diet?

It sounds like the problem was over inflated expectations

All I’m seeing are rumours while all over BBC website clubs are signing left right and centre, why is it we always seem to be last to the party.

That's not really fair. We signed Greg Inglis - not Matty Costello or Joe Greenwood, but GREG INGLIS - and we did it months ago, so hardly late to the party.

I don't know that much about Mulhern, but he must be half-decent to have been offered a contract by Melbourne Storm as well as Warrington.

i'd stop reading the bbc website if it's upsetting you that much

This

It’s probably a perspective issue.

When that was "leaked" about Mulhern going to Storm, Melbourne quickly brushed it off as nonsense, they did say they were looking at young English talent though

I’m not sure how legitimate the views of someone who gives his own post a “thumbs up” are. However kudos for realising it could be done and I’m sure my doubts will have minimal effect on such a massive ego.

*It’s on the KR site if anyone can be bothered looking (one of the Mulhern topics to be more precise)

Melbourne once signed Ian Sibbit so they're not the best when it comes to spotting young, British forwards.

They wanted Ethan Havard.

Now confirmed 2 year deal, people wanted props we’ve signed 2! Are we happy with the 2 signed? I’m pretty pleased, hopefully gives us some go forward off the bench and the ability to match the big teams like Wigan and saints once Hill and Cooper go off.

Smells a bit fishy to me

I'm happy with what we have brought in, Steve price has been given the tools he needs now, no excuses.

We have to see how they settle in to the side, only space for one in the 17 at the beginning of next season which I expect will be mulhern. Won't be long before Butler gets a go though, only a suspension or injury away from the 17. What both of these signings do mean is that we don't have to flog Hill and Cooper and will hopefully be able to keep them as fresh as possible for the business end. I suppose philbin could end up being the extra prop at 13 though with BMM going. That wouldn't be a bad option if both of the new forwards hit the ground running.

Yes, he said his strength etc..benefitted greatly when he started adding fish to his diet after being vegan. (According to sky commentator)

I don't like Philbin at 13, Jack hughes at 13 with Ellis Robson in the second row would be Very nice for me.
And yes i'm VERY happy with Butler and Mulhern added to our props. Like you said it massively takes the pressure off Hill and Cooper, we could drop Hill to 20 mins a side and get the best out of him and keep his and coopers energy and recovery levels much higher all season

I'm very excited now for next year if we can sort out our Halfback situation
