Not one to Be picky but how many do we need ?
*Ben Westwood
*Ben Masilla
*Ben Currie
*Ben Julien
*Jack Hughes
*Sitaleki Akauola
(rumours of Gareth Hock)

Shame we don't have 6 Props Fighting for a starting Jersey

Ben Julienne has signed for Catalan.

Julien gone, Westwood will be used sparingly due to his age, BMM will play 13 I think, Hughes not good enough.

Sorry ive been away for a couple of Weeks , Has this been announced ?

I was pretty sure he only signed a 3 year deal last year ?

Signing a contract means nothing. Just means he has a price tag.

You would want at least 100k for a Signing Like Ben jullienne I should imagine , Just funny we haven't heard anything official . Cant see many people being besides themselves but seemed a promising youngster .

Correct.
They are more likely to be sold under contract these days.
Only in Aus does it still seem that players will runout or fix a release without transfer.

Personally I like him. But it looks like Price wants a heavy, ruthless, mobile set of forwards.

Hill
Clark
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
Murdoch-Mesila

<Interchange Hooker> Smith?
Akualoa
Crosby
Philbin
Westwood

That's a very big pack and a pretty sizeable bench. I suspect Price will want to have his forward running through brick walls & BMM will certainly show them how to run with aggression.

Always had a soft spot for BJ...

Only at the end!

Will Akualoa play forward? I'd like us not to have to be reliant on Crosby. I saw nothing spectacular in him before the issues in he private life. Maybe room for a forward from the championship perhaps. I also hope Hughes is backup and not first choice 17.

I think Hughes will be okay with big men around him.

Well seeing as he's a prop I'd hope so.

Crosby didn't put a foot wrong in the couple of games he managed to play.

Hughes will have been affected by Crosby's tough time for sure. He's solid in defence and does the 1% things in games that go a long way. Unfortunately he goes under the radar a lot but the bad thing about him this season is that he was that bad he actually stood out. Rather than him usually playing well and blending in.

I wouldn't be too quick to lay too much blame solely at his feet though (as bad as he may have been). Warrington's 1 tactic of the backs making 3 scoots, to a forward taking a ball in on his own for the half backs to kick to a corner will hardly do anything for his game.

As Duckie said (I'm shocked I'm agreeing with him) with some big stable bodies around him I think he'll go back to the form he had in 2016. Hopefully we will see the end of the back taking balls in and getting smashed and instead we can go back to how we played in 2011 with 3 massive drives from the forwards, a switch play to the other side, and finish off with either an attacking shape or a kick to the winger.

I'd have Hill and Crosby as my 8 and 10 next year, Crosby is a quality forward and i hope he has the starting Shirt ahead of Cooper.
Has BMM played much loose forward before or primarily at second row? Either way i'm happy as pie with the forward pack next year, maybe another prop to compliment.
But we are looking good for next year and i'm very excited
