| Quote: Superted "Great post!!!
Prior wont be trampling blokes or skittling defenders left right and centre, he'll.just make hisnsteady yards at a decent pace.
What he will do though is lead the defensive line, particularly around the ruck. His line speed is terrific, he hits hard and sticks - I've seen plenty of times when he steams out of the line at 100mph, smashes a bloke, wraps them up and plants them on their belly for a slow ptb, all 1 on 1, but he's very measured with it - very rarely misses his man. An area of the game where we've been found desperately lacking in recent years (and actually one of Merrins weaknesses).
Will be a great signing, but not spectacularly eye catching - so may well fly under the radar.'"
He sounds just what we need. Pack looking intimidating this year |

| Let's hope club get him in nice and settled quickly. I'm sure I read somewhere Merrin said how he was really unsettled when first arrived as the house arrangements were messy no furniture for weeks etc. Soft Aussies  |

A little quote from Prior below during his first interview over here. This is music to my ears. If he is good to his word then this is exactly what we need, maybe not all we need, but him and Ava have the potential to be the cornerstone of a very solid pack finally.
"I've built my career on doing the little things right, being a team man and bringing a lot of energy,” he admitted.
“Everyone who knows me knows I am a competitor. I like to do the little things well and I want to continue to do that.”

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I think the original post was about signing someone average permanently, and tying up cap space for several years
