Couldn't agree more

I think it'll only be a matter of time that Craig Kopczak will sign for us. The RFL are currently disputing the contract issue with Bradford and he tried to be released from it last season. If it goes through I think we'll be signing him with the Harris Welsh connection etc. Could turn out to be useful once he's under better coaches, conditioning etc. Only 25 but experienced

Huddersfield bound isn't he?

Oh I duno, hadn't heard out just thought we might have gone in for him if he was available

Taylor confirmed on 2 yr deal. Good work for a 21 yr old prop!

He's already a good player and will improve with more experience.

Big, mobile and can run hard. A good signing and whatever we've paid it could well turn out to be value for money.

Our front row now really has some size to it.

Taylor 6'4", Prescott 6'3", Mossop 6'4" together with Lauaki and Dudson both over 6' is excellent.

Also I noticed at the awards dinner when Crosby was talking to Gaz Hock, Crosby was taller than Hock so he must be a fair size too.

With Spencer and Burke who are hardly small, behind those guys, we have a front row that could do us very well for some years.

A uk based club bidding for Mose Masoe would love that to be us. That would give us a real enforcer at 6'4" and nearly 20 stone. He is being released by the Roosters. 3 NRL clubs also in for him according to the article I read.



He would kill it as an impact forward in SL.

I seen that on the Leeds forum and watched some clips of him online.....a beast of a bloke that's for sure.



As much as i'd like another forward my first priority would be an outside back to add some competition first and foremost. If we play Gelling at left centre that leaves us with Thornley and Murphy to back up the rest of the lads. I don't think that's enough as after that who would we be looking at now Marsh, Russell and King have gone? I'd guess next in line is Burgess or Tierney but they're very young.

Looks exactly what we need.

Hes not another Feka type is he?

Size wise he's not the same looking at him on the internet clips i've seen. He's taller and more athletic but those few minute clips are literally all I know about him.

At 23 he's hardly the experienced head people have been saying we need for the front row. FWIW I think that'll be it now as far as recruitment goes. We'll have Mossop, Prescott, Taylor, Dudson, Flower and Lauaki fighting for 4/5 places with Crosby, Spencer and Burke used if/when necessary.



It is a young set of props but there is still plenty of experience, though we do need to get a good injury-free season out of both Prescott and Mossop. Looking at Bilkos team sheet page they only got 4 games together this season!
