Quote: rodney_trotter "I agree our pack is a concern. I was as excited as everyone else was about signing Fonua but I can honestly say I’d be happy swapping him for another Mark o Meley or a Scott Taylor. Some people will not agree with that given Fonuas quality but we won’t go anywhere fast next season without a pack to rival the top 2.
Obviously there may be more signings to come but we’d better hope we’re getting all of Sao, Satae and Ma’u cos we’re going to need it considering we’re losing Westy and Green'"
Absolutely agree. If signing Fonua means we have missed out on signing a top forward then I'd be disappointed. As we saw against Cas the other week for example, we got out muscled in the middle yet it was our backs who saw us through - imagine what our backs could do if they had a good platform from some big blokes in the middle. I was fearing the worst when they brought on Watts and JSL & we brought on Brad Fash & Washbrook. Really hope we pull it out of the bag and sign some lumps to throw in the forwards.
