Need a second rower.
Does anyone know if that maximum minutes in a season rule for young players came into affect because if it did Nsemba is well on the way to busting it.
We seem to have gone from producing back rowers by the dozen to relying on Farrell and Nsemba not picking up a knock, hopefully when Havard is back we can afford to shift Walters back and we can start rotating the three of them.
Walters looks that at home at prop, I don't think we really need to bring anybody in in that area if he's staying there and I agree with you, we need a second rower. I wouldn't have minded us making a move to sign James McDonnell back from Leeds and I find it a bit strange that he's only extended his deal at Leeds by a year (so maybe we do try for 2027). I do think Vaughan will be used here as a second rower and then there is Mason and Hirst but I'm hoping we'll be looking overseas for an option to come in and press Farrell/Nsemba for a place. At prop, I'm hoping we see Sam Eseh back here in 2026 and pushing for a place. I'm not entirely convined by him and never have been but I do think he's looking more promising in recent games at Hull.
