I am hoping the days of some OAP looking for a pension from us are done. Yes admittedly we caused that but signing young hungry players is the way to go and promoting from our academy. The one deviation from it is props we need something straight out of the package that gives us grunt up front.

I have banged that drum a fair bit in last few days and especially with the announcement of Ratchford getting a 1 year playing extension. It’s the one area I’d rather we spend on props. That said I am looking forward to see how Okoro goes when he gets a chance.

i'd quite like a big bulky prop/forward

The club shouldn’t been even considering giving Ratchford an extension of a playing contract. If it’s a coaching role then the club has to find a role to suit, so Ratchford can concentrate on his gaining his own experience to becoming a coach. Why offer a playing deal and using up cap space, if time on the pitch will be limited.

Burgess has bigger problems to solve, than worrying about keeping Ratchford In the playing squad. The squad needs strengthening in other areas, two props and a creative edge/centre are a must for next season.

I may be in the minority but I agree with you 100%. In terms of props - we have quantity but not quality in depth. Our performance degrades when Vaughan and Harrison go off.

In terms of centre, I think we can do better with an overseas spot than Tai for all round play.

.Duplicate. I'm sure this forum was coded by the Fujitsu/Horizon team.

Aaron Pene?

Signed for Leigh.

Some of those blokes that like taking their shirt off in stadiums look like big bulky props, certainly not the Adonis they think they are.

Hearing Lee Briers to Cronulla, bit of a surprise if any truth in it.

As an assistant coach, or as the 1st Team Coach?

I thought he was going to Souths with Bennett.

Steve Price is currently assistant coach at Cronulla.

No idea it was just something told to me today and I already read about the South’s thing.

Can he play prop?

Saying we are in for Rhyse Martin now.

Can he play prop?
