Bell if can’t get out of quota would be better signing Knight or another prop I reckon. Will depend if Knight would want to stay over here aswell but it’s shown how effective it has being with him and Herman starting 

I'd be tempted to release Rapana in order to keep Knight if that was a possibility. He's looking better every week. We have quite a bit of versatility in the backline but really need another powerful prop. Rapana is quality but prone to errors and the odd brainfart decision. Maybe the club already has a prop lined up.

Bell cannot be off the quota.

Bad look for the club to release players, particularly those that don't really warrant it, I hope those days are over.


Far too early to right Rapana off and honestly think overall he has played well. 


Tough to replace Knight though, might have to be creative.

Has Rapana played consecutive games in the same position? Don't think that's helped him tbh. 


He's had to move positions in games multiple times too.

Appreciate he's made errors but I cant help but think some of the criticism Rapana gets is a bit harsh. Whether he's at Centre or Full Back he's consistently made good yardage and tackle busts, put a try on a plate for Briscoe which set the tone of the first half at Wire and has shown nice touches when linking in from full back. 

Think he's had one bad game which came in the quarter final, the rest have ranged from been steady to good. 


From early viewing Pryce at Full Back and Rapana at centre seems to be the way forward, give him a good run in one position and then i'd judge him properly.
