Quote: Simmo71 "My point is that we shouldn't be replacing what Tetevano was.
We should be replacing what we expected him to be.

Couple of injuries up front (which is very possible) and we are up against it.'"


You just keep saying the same thing. We need a big meter making impact prop, we look light up front and if we get a few injuries we will be up against it.

Taking Wigan out of this conversation. Every single side is looking for a meter making impact prop, every side will be up against it if they get a couple of injuries up front. That is the reality of salary cap, if your players don’t play then you struggle, because what you bring in will never be as good as first choice.

We are realistically only going to play 4 props given our captain is our 13. Yes we are a bit light with Goudemand, Hudson and TNW as essentially our 5th,6th and 7th option. Ideally we would have burgess (who you consistently go on about) over one of those players. But Burgess costs a heck of a lot more than they do and probably every club in SL would want to sign him if he was available.
Most people agree we have done the best business in the off season. Addressing our whole spine with good quality players that fit the style our coach seems to want to play. Pressure is on him for sure. But this isn’t fantasy land football manager when you just sign who you want, when you want. For me next year we probably look at bringing in a different profile back row player to replace Martin and potentially a different profile prop depending on how we go this year. To me that is sensible and sustained. TNW May get game time as May Hudson and suddenly we have 3-4 home grown front row options which man our ability to go big on that further prop is enhanced.
Burgess or Ackers - I pick Ackers at the moment.
Burgess or Croft - I pick Croft at the moment.
I discount Frawley because we needed a second half back either way.
I can see your potential arguement of burgess over Miller but I would still take Miller. Myler is 33/34 has limited pace and I don’t think he fits the way we want to play with the new players we have brought in. So I can see you saying we should have signed a big impact prop. But I think the response of we have addressed bigger needs first carries more weight. Obv all opinions and untainted Rohan will live by the sword and die by the sword if we don’t perform.

Walters will be playing back row so it's not really a comparison.

Different positions this year, and even when Walters played prop last year, he and Holroyd are very different types of player.

Holroyd needs a couple more years on him. He is a big aggressive lad who needs a bit of maturity to fulfil his potential - and more robustness to injury.

I’ve been critical of Bentley but I do hope he shows us more of his promise this season. He does have some quality but we’ll see if he can cement a starting spot.

This is the point about our prop roster Jim.
We don't have that luxury with Holroyd.
He's now one of our senior props, so we need him fit and playing every week.

we seem overstocked in yhe back row and light at prop.
similar to under agar who just preferred 'middles'.
