Am not saying he is a bad player but i just dont see him as a prop. yes he is good at making tackles but as a prop surly busting one or 2 tackles a season should be a must or providing a offload at least. running in and dropping to your knees instantly is not winning a tackle.

got to laugh at the cudjoe comments above too

Interesting that having Matagi here has fired Ukuma up as they are friends with a very competitive edge.

Matagi 41 tackles, 7 Marker tackles, 134 metres less than two weeks off the plane from Australia. He can also pass but keeps missing the patterns but that should improve too. Also played pretty long minutes.

Clough 35-8-130

We have six props for next year if you add Seb, Matty and Bruno to the three that played yesterday, we have cover for injuries and Woolfords track record says he will mix them up and keep them fresh so it’s really a debate about nothing.

The questionable signing for me is Uate if it happens as Darnell keeps improving and big money would be best sent on another half as we are short of cover and to get the best from Brough a few rest matches may be a good thing

looking strong in the prop department now the giants

as for uate... what he bring in experience and quality will be worth it to bring the youngtsers on even more, they will look upto him like an idol... abit like what hincy is doing for the likes of matty english, uate can also play anywhere along the back line

One thing that’s coming apparent is Darnell can finish-he backs himself very well. Imagine him on the wing with someone like uate inside him!

8 assists in last 5 seasons, Uate isn’t known for his passing and centre play or catching for that matter he’s known for his pace
