Ok, I disagree with the implication that that set of Leeds props would be far and away the best set in the country. Saints 4 would be at least as good if not better, Warrington would be equal and Wigan would be roughly on a par. I have assumed that Lima and Bailey would be like for like, which I think it fair given they both have international caps, although Bailey not for some time.
Interestingly on Coley and Prescott, Coley has stats as follows when compared to Leuluai. Almost equal on metres, 10% more drives, 150 more tackles, 20% less missed tackles, 6 more errors and 12 more penalties. I'd say overall they compare roughly equally with Kylie making less errors and giving less penalties away, but Coley working much harder.
Prescott compares well with Burgess too (as their teams 4th props respectively) leading in all the key stats, but having played more games than Burgess, 21 to 15.
You might Guffaw and think that Coley and Prescott are crap, but the evidence says otherwise, unless you concede that Leuluai and Burgess are crap too?
