Forwards out of the samoan side, leuluia, hansen, lauitiiti, faiumu and solomona already play in super league with tony puletua signed for st helens. Leo-latu, guttenbeil and manu from the tonga side already plying their trade over here leaves very few possible options already unsigned from either team.

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:

Where are the names of the props we are been linked with.
It is go obvious that we need a bigger pack and some size in it - will one foward sort that out.

Said it before and will keep on saying it - get the pack right, lay the platform and have go forward and then let the backs play.

I feel we need four front line props and some size in the second row - Hansen, Lockers, Bailey, Hock and Mossop need to put some quality bulk and power (not fat) on them in the off season to allow then to smash through tackles and knock people back.
Fletcher had never been replaced
Prescott needs some more size before be can be a super league prop - look at James Graham - great work attitude and courage but got knocked back in nearly every tackle
Sometime in life size matters!!!

This isn't really a rumour topic more a general obbservation and discusion on our pack - power in the pack

I was not critical of our current second row just feel that we are all a bit light in their in weight and size and they are all a little similar- mobile, great engines and hard workers but none have the ability to break through takcles or smash people back - ala Betts, Farrell, Fletcher etc and feel that an option or different combination could be a bit of size/impact compared with the workhorses
