Quote: Fallon "Is the pack really a huge issue though? As of right now we have;
Parcel and Dwyer as hookers. Happy with both and they both have different attributes.
Garbutt, singleton, petru, cuthbo, Crosby, mullally, olejdski as props. Sure another big prop would be great but if Furner can get these guys firing then they can set a platform.
There were holes all over the shop last season and now we should have a decent half back pairing so myler isn't having to do everything and two strike centres we should be better.
Last season was not just poor because of the front row.'"
Reports seem to be that our only real metre-making prop, Garbutt, is going - and we looked a much worse side when he was off the field this year IMO. For me I'm happy with the back row within reason, IF Ward can stay fit and Ferres produce something and get match fit (two big IFs). Parcell and Dwyer are both primarily running hookers, which works when you're on the front foot and facing disorganised defences. So personally I'd probably go for 2x props if Garbutt goes, both to start ahead of Crosby and Singleton, with Oledzki and Holroyd coming through in the next year or two and as cover for injuries this season (they'll get plenty of game time).
