Palaeasina would be a waste as the rule changes don't suit players like him unless you've got a prop who can do the full 80

here we go gain, Jacko is not small and is every bit as good as Sam Moa.

Jacko 5'11'' 17st 6 lls
Moa 6' 17st 12

I mean the difference is staggering between the two, you really need to check facts before opening trap.

Good call, we used to do well with these type of players.

If this is the pond we're fishing in, Rob Parker didn't do half bad at Cas last season; come to think of it, we may as well have kept Higgins.

Don't know what we have left in the kitty, but if we are looking at the likes of Dickens it does make you wonder why we just didn't keep Higgins.

Ryan Hepworth is a big tough lad and may be worth a look at as a long term project - there is still no substitute or way of training real size and toughness into a player. Something we have lost sight of in this country - unlike Oz.

You guys are obsessed with past it English players. There may not be a difference in size but theres more to the game than size. Moa is a cannonball we need someone of that ilk to be the final piece. Dowes aint small but he runs it in like a teddy bear carrying a jelly baby.

Nowhere near as obsessed as you are with past it Aussies, never were Kiwi's and never actually played a game of RL before arriving in the UK South Sea Islanders.

If Sam Moa is the final piece then it's a really crap jigsaw.

If Paul Jackson were injury free and wanted to join us I'd take him. Proper tough RL players who knows his job and always gives 100% that will do for me.

Yep he'll fire off once and then he's spent.

You'll be old yourself one day.

Went to school with Ryan, it would’ve been interesting to see him go straight into semi prop/pro RL rather than joining Sheffield later on in his career. 31 next year so maybe his time has passed. Hard as nails though as you say.

Where is Dom Maloney these days? Always thought he played well when I saw him on the televised Championships matches. I think he signed for Hull FC a couple years back?

I remember hearing he'd signed for Fev next year and has been down In Oz playing in the Queensland Cup for Burleigh Bears.

I. Was watching them train at BV last Friday ,the way they were throwing the ball about and the off ball movement ,the props will be spectators .It looked good.
