For a start Bain wasn’t a prop, not sure where that idea has come from. I quite liked him and it may well of been his choice to leave. That said he was always vulnerable to me. He didn’t play enough games due mainly to injury last year to cement a place. He was also a bit of an all rounder and I honestly couldn’t see the development in him, certainly not enough to take quota spot. When compared to Uele, Vagana and Nikotemo. You can find plenty of Bain type players domestically. I did actually say this when we signed him. I still wish him all the best.

We need an out and out front rower in my opinion. Whether that be from SL or NRL, as long as they add quality and justify the quota spot then happy days. Matthew Lodge type of calibre would be nice.

I will say I expected he would be the one to make way if a quota spot was required. He was solid for us though and wish him well. I’d be happy with a second row, prop or 13. We’re pretty stacked everywhere else.

Got by at that level, but had he stayed I think he would’ve needed to make the 13 spot his own.
