Do you not anticipate Scott Taylor, your season long loan player, will manage a starting place in the starting seventeen in 2015.

yes in place of mullally if it gets confirmed.

they will all get a run out though the props at some stage, upto one to take the shirt in the team.

We all know form counts for nothing as a giants prop

Always the Props who get the stick. Never the fairies who drop the ball and miss tackles and get suspended!
Take off your rose tinted specs and watch the games.

yes thought our props were decent in the second half of the season it was the lack of completing sets and the like that hindered us!

Touchy

Who's giving stick? My reference was in particularly at Mullally who I thought was brilliant for us but kept getting dropped.

We were average all year, team problem.

will need to ask the coaching staff why he keeps being dropped then, if his performances on the pitch were that good then surely he would keep his place

He kept getting dropped because PA wouldn't drop Koppy for more than one game for some reason. I assume it's because of the amount of money it has cost to get him here.

Hopefully with a full pre season Koppy will be the player he was in 2013.

Personally I would like to see Mullally play regular. Especially in front of a loanee.

I was impressed by Mullally last season. However Paul Anderson will have had his reasons for dropping him and he knows far more about playing prop forward than i do.

i like mullally but you would think paul anderson knows more about the prop forward role than we do!

kopczak is on 55k , hardly a big earner at the club, he didnt have a break pre season, captained the wales team in the world cup and struggled at the start of the season but who didnt? then he did get dropped but got back in the team and played quite well.

no loanee confirmed yet.

crabtree and kopczak are still our best two props. Huby probably 2nd to crabtree now but we shall see how he goes for the Giants!
