Top idea I would have Dickens as back up anyday. Hope he is keeping trim. Would be a far better option than putting Wheeldon on the wage bill.

#donotfeedtheanimals!!!

Richard Moore, Ian Kirke and Keith Mason would all be decent options as a run-on prop, to play in short bursts; Moore and Mason in particular, whilst not especially skillful, are old-school roughnecks who could do a bit of damage up the middle. Kirke is slighly less impactful, but probably a bit more versatile.



O'Meley is still quality, but is quota and probably the most expensive of the four; both of those could be off-set with the release of John, who's cover in the backs could in turn be taken up by Goulding Jr.



I don't know enough about the lower leagues to suggest any up and comers, but since Agar has stated he's looking at established props, that's probably a blind alley.



Interesting to speculate, but I'm sure that RA will get this right - he did ok last season.

O'Meley won't be leaving Hull. Signed a one year deal which he has announced will be his last before retiring and he didn't want to play his last year for any other UK club.



I still think it all depends whether we can shift Issac John in the near future as i reckon Agars first choice is an overseas player.

Classic! You must be made up!!



Good lad though he is he is without doubt a small prop, or a midget as you'd call them - you know the sort of prop you said we didn't want at Wakefield - make your mind up

Dickens is way better than tuby scott wheeldon vasty !

Sir Richard Agar has hinted at Ryan Bailey on Twitter this morning; probably just more mischief though, given that it's a spoof account.

Spoof account? No it isn't.



Haribo!

Ryan Bailey, now that would be kinda funny.

I'm not sure he'd fit under the "Value for Money" category that Richard was talking about on Tuesday night.

Bearing in mind that what we are after is a back-up really given we have Raleigh, Amor, Wilkes and Poore as first choices. Can't imagine he'd be a cheap option so to get value for money he'd have to play a lot of games - would he get that?

I agree, but that wasn't the point.



Last year you dismissed James, Johnson and Raleigh a midgets yet all are bigger than Dickens. Why the change of heart regarding size?
