Using that kind of language on this board should be an instant life ban if you ask me

Well 3 into 2 doesn't go so unless we're planning on playing either Ellis or Tickle at LF so what do you suggest?

if/when tommy b goes, tom lineham would be a ideal replacement for him. watched him in the u20's at weekend and he is a class act. big, strong, quick, reads the game very well...star of the future for sure

Manu off the bench with Tickle and Ellis as 2nd rowers and Westerman 13.Lets just wait and see what happens with Moa and O'Meley before we start speculating....they might have another lined up for all we know......Fielden on a reduced contract for a couple of seasons to enable Bowden to be ready????

Great signing, although probably in the position we needed strengthening the least. Hopefully it will lead to other great signings, and more professionalism within the team. As exiting as this is, I'll be gutted if Moa leaves. Forwards with genuine impact like his are hard to find.

Tickle and Ellis are 80 minute players or at least 70 minutes. That doesn't leave much scope for Manu to get a lot of game time. I guess it's a nice problem to have and things will become clearer as our recruitment starts to firm up for next season.

rotation is the key,
2 props Aron H, Willie M on the bench. Ellis and manu can cover centre westerman and Aron H to cover the halves. Horne can fill in at FB if needed.

Aren't Tickle and Ellis both natural right sided players and Manu a left sided player?

Perhaps Tickle could rotate between SR and Prop

Tickle to prop is the most inexpensive way of doing it imo, did Peacock not make the same transition about his age?

Another over-the-hill, 30 year old Aussie coming to SL!

Excellent signing.

Sam on his way back to family and an NRL gig. Ticks moves up. Has already shown he can play prop. O Meley and Manu to stay. Seems fairly straightforward to me.

It makes a change there is no visa problems.

Oh my! I never thought we would get him, GREAT SIGNING HULL!!!
