I’d rather us pick up a domestic prop from Salford and not rush to fill up our last quota spot, they need to be used wisely.

Which one of Hill, Singleton, Sangare, Bullock or Ormondroyd (off to Cas anyway) would you prefer? Aside from Hill I’m not sure any of them get into our starting 17

Any of the others would be squad players which personally I’m fine with, it’s a long season, we will get injuries, so capable replacements are important to make sure we don’t see a drop of in performance, especially in the pack where most games are won and lost.

Bags of experience which wouldn't go amiss!

[quote="REDWHITEANDBLUE":1zos0pt1]Looking at the club ethics around the suitability players on and off the field I am not sure McDonald fits the bill. He doesn't seem to have much loyalty[/quote:1zos0pt1] We probably don't need that from him. I'd be happy for 1 year while we bring Pratt on and then pass the baton. But as you say he still has to fit the dynamics and ethos of the team Powell has built.
