Seb came in well last year. Can see a great year for him. His size and power will cause a lot of problems for the opposition. Also liked to get the offload out, sometimes giving the ball away but if we can get the likes of brieley and cruise around him anticipating we should get some decent breaks.

I really don't understand why people infer that prop and second row are interchangable and that if you are a big second row you can simply play prop and have the same impact. For me, playing prop forward is more a mentality than a position. A player that is used to play second row on the fringes cannot suddenly develop the mentaility that props have had all their career, to do the hard work when noone else wants to, to wear themselves out tackling the biggest men, and often to be the teams biggest enforcer.

Sure some second rowers have all these attributes and they are the ones that are suitable, but just to say 'he's big enough' is to underestimate the change that is required in mentality to change to that position effectively. Many second rowers are used to running out wide at smaller defenders, and use footwork.

Prop is specialised position and needs players who have been brought up playing it to be effective (with some exceptions)

David Fauma was an obvious exception then...

He has been a lot better than the Christmas pudding Ta'ai was when he first started.
If he can improve season by season like he has we're going to have a fans favourite on our hands.

Symonds excites me more for next season. I think we have another Ferres on our hands with him.. I
I'm sure Stone will have them linking up well with Brough and Brierly well this season and we can do some damage.

that side of the field will be some force!
