Quote: MadDogg "I want a couple of big, mean forwards for our team in 2016 as much as anyone but no-one has touched on the fact that we now have 6 senior props under contract. You can only sign players when you have space to accommodate them, particularly within a salary capped sport.
We had spaces for two props last year and got Mossop and Tautai. Until contracts run out then I don't see how we can bring anyone else in. We could maybe bring in a big backrower to replace Patrick but I don't think we have the capacity to do anything up front.'"
But at the same time we didn't replace Eddie and I doubt Patrick and Hughes will be here in 2016. As far as I know we haven extended the contracts of any of our forwards so we've got two guys wages in the bank.
Quote: MadDogg "Tautai could be the solution to the backrow issue. Patrick has to go and be replaced by quality regardless.
I'm sure we could offload at least 1 maybe 2 contracted Props. '"
Agree that TT could be an option in backrow. I'd be very excited to see him running out wide (sure he started as a winger in the NRL).
If the rumours about Crosby are true then that's one contracted player who's moving on. I'd bring in Watts from FC who would really add something to the side.
