So which other English ( and available) props would you get? It's about building a squad that will compete with Wigan again. You do that by achieving a balance in your recruitment, a good solid pro here, two or three very good players there. Limiting ourselves to signing only the best players from the best sides in the comp is a science fiction scenario.
And BTW - who said he's their 6th best - he comes off the bench most every week.
