A big tough Aussie prop. Like Frank Paul the wrecking ball you mean.?
Took a big chunk of our cap and did jack s**t
It's halves and three quarters we need to look at the NRL for. They seem to churn them out all the time whereas over here we always seem to be lacking in these areas. That's where they've killed us in the international game for years.
he never missed a game or a tackle or took a back step, just what we need....

Anyone who understands rugby will see the result of big powerful forwards by watching the Castleford second half when all the good work by the backs was undone by the lack of forward power .
