I think we have the only player in SL who plays the ball properly (Garbutt), by actually rolling the ball with the underside of his foot. I think it adds the best part of a second to each ptb. In the first few games, you could see the acting half having to check whilst it was rolled back.

Whilst I wish every player did this, I wonder what, if any, effect this has with regards to the speed of play. On the flip side, it almost guarantees a smooth pick up by the player.

He played in only 13 of the 30 league games last year but a chunk of those missed games came as a result of that sh*thouse 3rd man in attacking the legs tackle from Rangi Chase that saw Chase get a 7 match ban.

160 prop minutes between Galloway Singleton Cuthbertson and Garbutt. With the possibility of using a 3rd prop at 13. I think it's fair to say we have some options and they would be further enhanced if Ferres arrives.

Yes, we also have Baldwinson as an option who showed up well at Fev last year.

We've been saying for so long now 'enjoy it while we have it,it won't lost forever' this season is going to be very interesting and we must give the team time to settle

We have Mullaley as well who is a big lad with SL experience
