I would say that scruton and hargreaves do that job. Even Lynch to an extent.

| Scruton has been poor this season but at his best is the nearest. Hargreaves and Lynch work hard but do not hit the defensive line hard enough or from deep enough. This isn't a major criticism, although I've always felt Lynch was over rated, they're just not that type of prop. Koppy, the same. What we're badly missing is a Leulaui (of 3 years ago), a Morley, a Crabtree, an O'Meley. A player who the defence have to set themselves for and whilst make fewer carries than a Lynch, actually have more impact on the game as they get their team onto the attack.

we did try and sign Palea'aesina so it's not for lack of trying on our part. Those types of props aren't massively available either.

| problem with scruton IMO is he tries to make the big hits every single time.When it comes off great but more often he bounces off and someone else has to cover. If he was a bit more selective about putting the hits in and only did it when it was likely to come and made sure he made the tackle the rest of the time then he'd be a lot more effective.

Tbh after seeing him this year think we had a lucky escape there. imagine our current situation with scruton out for a while and one off our remaining three main props only capable of 10 min stints?.

I agree. They don't grow on trees but hopefully the attempt to sign Feka signals an acknowledgement that we're woefully short of real bite in the pack.

| Quote Maislebugs="Maislebugs"Paul Sculthorpe belted him a few years back on TV.
As for signing him he'd lead the defensive line which we're crying out for but I'd hope we'd be looking for someone who runs it in harder than bailey.'"
He's the only person who has ever really had a proper go at Bailey and got the better of him. Bailey was only a skinny kid back then though and got taught a lesson. Plus lets be fair, Sculthorpe was a tough player as well as being very talented.
As far as Bailey taking the ball up goes, he has been our best prop in the last 4 games since he came back. Was averaging 100m a game pretty much before the send off. We will be weaker without him tomorrow. Defensively we look better when he plays too. He's always there or there abouts and doesnt miss that many tackles.

I reckon the time he sat bad boy Va'asavalu on his booty with a broken nose, and out of the game with concussion still grates a bit eh?
