Quote: PopTart "I agree. All the games I've seen McMeekan play this season where he's been the best forward on the field have been at prop.
Hardaker has skills there is no doubt, but we are building a team and Hardaker is a team spirit killer. Powell knows him well though so I'm sure he'll make a good decision.'"
I’ve watched a few Catalans games this season where Mckmeekem has played very well at second row such as vs hull kr, Warrington and hull fc. He also looked amongst their best players against Wigan at SR despite the loss.
He’s obviously good at SR or prop but far more experienced at SR with 200 games there out of his 250 and we massively need some second rowers for next season which is why I put him there. That may change but as it stands we have 0 second rowers signed for next season other than Mckmeeken.
I have confidence in the coaching set up to make the right decision but I’m excited as I think he’s a quality player.
With Hardaker like I say he’s a good player on the pitch and would offer the cover at full back too if needed but that’s one for Powell to answer as a lot has been made about having a professional environment.
