He's not big enough. We don't a second rower who can fill in at prop - we've enough of those. We need a real prop, someone who can attract 3 tacklers to him like Smith used to, or crash over from a yard out - something we couldn't do last Friday despite all the pressure we had on their line.

He wouldnt have to do much to be better than seuseu at the moment. He has really disappointed me and i wouldnt miss him if he were to go at the end of season unless hes planning to book his ideas up.

I always thaught botham was a centre. And it says possibility of a long term contract and leeds have made it public that they see botham as a player for the future.

That's my point really, Seuseu hasn't been doing that for us. I'm looking for someone with the size and strength of, say, Joe Vagana.

Of Course, ideally, but we wont get him or someone like him on loan, or if we do, then thats the first bit of good luck we will have had all season ( i think we're due a bit God if your reading/exist) - size and strength..then hopefully we will get that NZ Warriors prop then for next season - but thats what it will have to be...next season! :(

Where's our forward?

Why didn't he say, I'm signing a second rower. If second row is his position then why are we playing him as a forward? Haven't we enough swapping around in this team without adding another one. I was also hoping for a big lad that would power through the defence and not be afraid to take them on.

He cant't believe how good it is but there's more signings to follow? If he's signing more this means offloading more.
