He is the way Lima is playing at the moment!weststand-rich wrote:At one point in 2004 he was statistically one of the best props in SL, but his best days are long behind him. He came within a whisper of retiring a couple of years ago with repeated shoulder problems.
He's okay, but is not a like for like replacement for Lima.
Joking aside, there are not many players in the Lima mould. We missed a trick not signing Hill, I believe that Tom Burgess would have proved a useful signing but he will be plying his trade at Souths next season where I expect a big improvement under Madge. Other than Taylor at HKR I don't see many young prospects that are on a par with what we have already got.
It will be intersting to see how Fielden goes over the next few weeks, a number of strong performances may still get him a new contract. We cannot afford to lose Lima and Fielden both in the same year and not recruit.
