Quote: vastman "Tbf I think Battye and Olbison would fit that mould. Not world beaters we know that but both proven grafters. How available they are I don’t know, I assume the latter is.
We are hamstrung because we only have domestic players to choose from.
The only other options are to play Tanginoa at prop or convert Westerman or Crowther.
I thought Crowther played at prop as an under 19? May be wrong, he certainly looks like he could now. Whether either would want to I don’t know.
It’s not for me to advise either but if they wish to increase their market value propping seems to be the in demand position.'"
Played prop at scholarship but John Kain said he was a 13, myself personally think he wants more bulk to be an affective prop with his height where as someone like Batty are shorter and stocky.
