Ellis and Brierley both gone! |

True that, we’ve been shafted multiple times with NRL Props Down the years haven’t we. |

Got to be careful what I put on here because teachers are watching I agree Battles surprised me never thought he was anything above a championship player but he's expelled but if we've to compete at top level we have to look higher |

Leivaha Pulu, 6 foot 4 and 17 1/2 stone prop is out of contract, loads of NRL experience, Tonga international, ex team mate of Tupou and Lino. Other ex team mate Gavet close by at Huddersfield....
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leivaha_Pulu
Appears would be the aggressive quality prop needed at Trinity... |

Why do you assume Hudds would be interested, there isn’t any evidence that we are or that he is. |

Sorry but I really don’t get how 54 games over a ten year career counts as loads of NRL experience! That’s five games a season.
That makes Crowther a SL veteran!
Sorry but he strike me as exactly one of those players who will take us absolutely nowhere.
Of course I could be wrong but I’d put a fiver on him being anonymous at best.

Is it not worth scouting the lower league teams to see if there is another Walmsley type player?

Over 50 NRL games in a 3 year period between 2016-2019 (23 NRL games in 2016-2017) but last season only played a couple of NRL games similar to the number played by Lino...
Late developer like Gavet and made NRL debut when 26...with lots more NRL experience than David Fifita... |

As long as he's a prop with enough quality to guarantee a start and enough durability to stay fit, I don't care who it is, as it'll keep Kelepi in the second row.

Hard to gauge appearances really. Fifita was 27 when he came over, but had only played 19 times in the NRL, and Arona, similar age when he came over, but played 69 games.
Personally though, think we need to sort the front rowers before we look at second row.

Joe Bullock is another example. Seeing out his career at Barrow until Wigan got him. Now, a year ago if most people were offered a choice between George Burgess and a Barrow prop, most people would pick Burgess. Now, Burgess wouldn't get a look in.
At prop, it's about attitude and application. Bullock applied himself and went for it and got the rewards. I'm suspecting Burgess thought he could cruise into retirement and got found out.
See also Pauli Pauli for a bad example.
See also Eddie Battye for a good example.
Attitude and application, as simple as that. As long they come with that, they'll do fine. |
