I don't actually see any young lads ready to step up into front row any time soon.

TNW looks more like a loose than outright prop to me, although could be proven wrong. He'll have to fill out a fair but more at his height.

Leo Aliyu is athletic but again not massive; Oladipupo has great size for his age but has loads of development in him still. Young Stelfox impressed me a couple of weeks ago but again he's years off.

Hudson could be good but looking like he's going to struggle to make a first team appearance this year, very much a project. I actually like the look of him but he's coming from a long way behind developmentally for his age, and another with ongoing injury issues it seems.

We may have one or two backrowers that might transition but the fact we play Donaldson or Goudemand at prop says it all - we do lack quality, made worse when Holroyd can't stay fit for long stretches.

I said it when we signed Sangare that i just dont see a top player in him and thats proving to be the case. Our first choice 4 props going into the season were a real gamble which isnt paying off at the moment.

I’d take those two props for sure.

Not sure we need another 7. Maybe see how Sinfield goes and we have Fergus McCormack or Miller for reserve next year.

Thing is most signings are going to be 2 years minimum and we don’t want to block our youth too long.

We have a large number of back rowers but still would prefer one in there of real quality.

Left field name: Elliott Whitehead? No idea whether he’d return to UK but always rated him.

Those targets look sensible given our needs. Though not sure frawley is being replaced just yet even long term.

I’d imagine we’re looking in the loan market as even the kids coming into the back line are getting injured

I think any back rower we sign needs to be a hard runner,we have lots of workhorses
