Quote: St. Chunter "has moore been playing loose last coupleof games or something? surely he's seen as prop for next year by kear no?
we do look thin on the ground if we get some injuries, maybe we may yet see a couple more coming in.
wouldn't be too dismayed if we keep winterstein as long as the money is right, hendo cant decide on. would still like a proper 6 to come in but obst / grix might be most likely'"
Just think that he is better suited away from the front row if they plan on keeping him the same size for next year - he comes accross as a little lightweight for the front row to me. I understand that this reduction in weight was due to his unfortunate health problems last off season, but is the plan to bulk him back up the what he was the year before? If it's not, I think he would be much more effective in the backrow rather than the front row for us. I am very much of the opinion that you need out and out props rather than 2nd rowers who can cover the front row - look at 2 years ago when we had 3 'type' of forwards Catic/Dunc/Elima/ often having to play prop when much more suied to the back row.
Agree about Hendo and haven't seen enough of Frank to comment. No cause for concern at the moment, as you say there could be some to come - and if we have some luck with injuries it wont be an issue cos its potentially the best pack we have had for years and years, its just a bit of a risky proposition given our ropey record on that front for the last 2 years.
