The best props I saw back in the day were around 5’7” to 5’10”.
I couldn’t believe how short Les Boyd and Kurt Sorenson were in off the pitch real life!

I’ll be extremely pleased to see our recruitment slow down to picking up just one or two players if those players are good and fit the system. We’ve had ample opportunity to look over at St Helens and see how they do it and finally the penny is dropping. Saints IIRC very rarely have a big turnover at the end of the season - they go for continuity and promote from within and bar the odd inevitable mistake they have got their recruitment spot on.

Hull are currently behaving like us of old…..except even worse which is horrifying if you’re a Hull fan.

More like Doc Marwan at Salford than Wire.

dont forget Jim Mills he was a real short ar… actually he was quite big

From my perspective Mills seemed to be the exception back then rather than the rule. His great adversary and our guy Mike Nicholas fits RD's Prop prototype from back in the day.

Heard a whisper that Cooper has been offered a deal. Still no decision made on his part.

Time for Cooper to go full-time on his clothing business that was his main focus towards the end of his Wire career.

I did wonder a couple of days ago when Mago signed for another couple of years at Wigan whether Cooper would look to move elsewhere. With Vaughan, Harrison, Musgrove, Yates?, Philbin, Bullock, Crowther, Wood, Thomas, Okoro we seem well stocked?

Amone would be a great signing, would be a point of difference for us, but Cooper I’m not sure what that would achieve.

It would be a "No" from me....if I had any say whatsoever!

I presume you mean at Wigan.

Cooper will probably give retirement some thought at the end of the season, I wouldn’t expect wire to offer him deal if he sought to continue his playing career away from Wigan. He wouldn’t add anything to what we already have in the forward pack.. his age and the recent acl injury he suffered would be a concerning factor as well

I wonder if Cooper would barge into Burgess when substituted?

It’s a no from me on coops.

Nope, Wouldn't surprise me if he's hoping for a contract at wigan but i think his time is up at a top club like that. When you think about the length of time he's been playing at the level he's played at and injuries, its an exceptional career and one he should be proud of.

It's looking increasingly unlikely that Nicholson will see out his contract, despite the offer of a big pay rise (not a new contract). Both The Titans & The Dolphins have offered him very good terms.

SB still trying to convince him to stay.

He wanted the 13 shirt for a while, does the fact Currie owns that position have anything to do with it.

Apologies i completely misread your original comment about this my mistake. If i dare ask, have you heard anything about Ashton being approached?

Ashton? Saw his interview on sky other day with Wilkin and Jenna. Both trying suggest he will leave us at one point. Hope not!

Aron Pene set to join an un-named Super League club with immediate affect, is the Wire by any chance?

Leigh I think

Just signed for Leigh, i thought it might be us as well though

Anyone heard anything on Philbins injury? Will be gutted for him if he misses the final, hopefully it's just a weird sprain, but his reaction tells me it's more than that.

looked like a groin, might open a door for bullock or wood on the bench

There's an easy joke with groin pulls Bullocks and Wood, but we're better than that arent we?

Just seen a post says Nicholson signed for Canberra for next season.
