Whoever is in charge of recruitment at Melbourne Storm knows how to scout props, over the past few years they’ve turned out some world class props. Sam Kasiano, Jesse Bromwich, Jordan McLean, Nelson Asafa-Solomona, Christian Welch etc.

Not at the same level, but I've always thought that Hull KR have a decent eye for a prop too. Watts & Taylor are both Hull lads and they also signed Vella and Paea were both quality signings.

Not sure how much of a hand Chris Chester had in that? He seems to have done the same at Wakey - he even got TT playing well

and green

Your correct there Dave. IIRC it was Paul Harragon who did for Lucas. A dirty tackle and swinging arm. In ozzie speyk they call them a grub.

Kelvin Skerrett got some payback in that match.

to be fair, no one ever got the better of Harrigan, the law was changed in games due to that tackle. They never called him a grub as they called him the chief and rightly so

Well I've just copied this from the Independent newspaper.............

[i"Two regular Australian props bid for a Test place at Castleford tonight. Paul Harragon, whose tackle on Ian Lucas two years ago was, ironically, responsible for a change in the rules to allow players to be cited after internationals, plays his first tour match after completing a suspension he brought with him from Australia, ..."[/i.

So I'll stick with the 'grub' name.

ah ok...wasnt dirty he was hard. went one on one, hit hard nothing niggly would just smash people. Skerrett was a grub also......

We should have a go at getting Mitch Garbutt. Had a big season at KR

Kasiano started at the Bulldogs in 2010 and played NRL there from 2011-2017 playing almost 150 matches before last year going to Melbourne and playing mainly off the bench for about a dozen games.Don't think Melbourne turned him out- more turfed him out!

Woah!!!

Wash your mouth out!!

Big Kelvin was not a grub. He was an artist!

Besides. There were no ‘grubs’ back in the good old days. Grubs only exist today because any poohouse players that like niggle, know the chances of retribution are slim.

Back then. If you dished it out you you did in the full knowledge that someone might banjo you straight back in return.

Games gone so soft in comparison. Makes me sad.

As was Ruben Wiki, IIRC. I recall a video of him obliterating Adrian Lam in his NRL days when Wiki was still in the backline.

Perhaps when Hamlin's wages are eventually off the salary cap we could bring a prop in for the rest of the season.
Clark at Cas seems to be on the outer there so he would be the obvious one.

Pay attention at the back there!
We've already signed Mitch Clark for next season, possibly even before.

Bring back Neil Baynes!
