Couldn't agree more. With regard to needing a prop, in addition to the qualities you mentioned, we also need the capability to do longer spells. We don't want another doing the short spells Mose did, though that may have been more to do with the coach than the player.
Give Bentley time he is young but has a bit of the Batemans about him. Morgan Knowles yes pure RL class in the George Nicholls mould.
The only similarties between Bateman and Bentley are that their surnames begin with B and they both played for Bradford. Bentley is 23 years old, when Bateman was 23 (he is only 26) he was one of the best second rowers in the world.
Bentley, Batchelor really are at an age that they should be first team regulars in their chosen positions. I get that they haven't been at the club that long but I don't know why Saints are using lads in their mid 20s as future projects?

Fair play to you. Age wise I really thought Bentley was 20. I still think he has a future but at 23 it does up-risk the potential profile which is why Ashworth concerns me in his development.
Robbie Mulhern from HKR rumored in the trade press.
‘At this stage’ tells you everything you need to know
Robbie Mulhern at Hull KR is being rumoured to be interesting St Helens
I was told last week that we have already signed him. But that's not from anyone at Saints, however from someone who would know.
Is this Thomo’s replacement?
Not seen enough of Mulhern to comment too much, but our recent track record of signing Hull KR players is not exactly encouraging.
I'll have to keep a closer eye on him whenever Hull KR are on TV.
