Quote: Offside Monkey "I keep coming back to the problem of Amor being our only genuine grafter. Richards is an able squad filler, but he's a bit off the quality we want at the moment. (someone like) Walker could be a real boost to our Squad.
We're often speculating about Tasi for a replacement for Mose, but I'm a massive fan of Phil Joseph. I know not everyone (or indeed perhaps anyone) rates him, but he always seems to cause the defence trouble when I see him carry the ball.'"
I don't rate Walker any higher than I do Richards, but Richards has 4 years on him - there are times when I question whether Richards will make it and there are times when I'm convinced he will. He's playing one of if not the toughest position for a teenager and I'm willing to give him a couple more years yet. It took singleton that long at Leeds and I'd put them in a similar bracket. For a year of two having him as 5th choice prop would be my preference but really pushing 4th choice.
As for Mose he's really disappointed me this year. I defended him a lot last year and thought he showed signs of kicking on ... Unfortunately his workrate seems to have fallen off a cliff ... Probably correllated to him signing an NRL deal I'd guess. There are lots of props I'd take a punt on to replace him (Adam walker being one, as he's looked good whenever I've seen him this year) however Phil Joseph is like having a smaller, less fit version of Mose!
