I agree said we should of signed him 4/5 years ago when he wanted to travel as a lay preacher and was then injury free and a lot fitter only Mrs B agreed to take him on as a project. He's big but lacks a bit of fitness.

Our existing pack may be good enough to win the Challenge cup, and we're trying to upgrade for next season. Saints are playing a converted centre at 2nd row (Peyroux) and usually have a couple of young squad forwards on the bench like Ashworth and Bentley, and across the league it's pretty much the same. My argument isn't that more big name forwards wouldn't be nice, just that we're no different than any other team.

If we lose both green and Paea , and only sign 1 prop surely that leaves us poorer come next season in the front row . Plus we still haven’t replaced watts . Ok it looks like the back row will be stronger and better , but it was only a few months ago people were complaining on here about us not strengthening the pack for this season and how weak it is and not enough etc .

Front row is the big problem. We struggle against teams with big props who invariably get a roll on against us

But we’ll have one of the best set backs in the league !!

We already have. Next season fonua will improve it a bit but the overall gain will be marginal. Weve seen this year our backs can be devastating when the forwards get us on top

We’ll know more when our recruitment is finished , looks like Sao and Ma’u are signed which gives us a good starting back row with jones but for me our props lack depth and quality . Let’s see who club have lined up for the front row .

Is it let's state the bleeding obvious day in west yorks?

Just having a lovely, agreeable time.

It's as suspicious as when my wife actually starts agreeing with me
