Listening to Rule on radio earlier a caller said we need a big powerful prop , centre and a full back which we all nearly agree on . But Rule said thats what Lauaki was bought as so does that mean no props coming in ? If so another long season expected i think !!!

My thoughts exactly. Would like to know if his re-signing means someone will be released from their contract next year.

I also gathered from Rule's response that Lauaki is the only prop coming in and don't expect a full back as Tansey will be playing there.

im willing to wait and see what happens

You can't have a whole pack of powerhouses who can bend the line but only play in short bursts. Dowes and Cusack are fine if played alongside a tackle buster and not together. If we get Luaki here and keep Thacks on (presuming we don't get anyone else) with Maloney and Moa as back up, that is a decent and well balanced set of props imo.

dont hold ye breath

You can't honestly believe that pack will dominate any other pack in super league, it's ordinary which ever way you look at it. Those players have been consistantly outplayed by almost all they have come up against, they aren't good enough by any stretch of the imagination. Stop deluding yourself.

He wont get a Visa

I understand you need some grafters in the pack but going into next season with Dowes , Cussack ,Thackery and Lauaki as our main props seems to weak .

Does that mean our (yet to be announced) greatest club signing since Sterlo, is not an overseas block busting prop?

I think it can compete. It's not the best but I won't be too disappointed if that is the case.

Seems that way after the way Rule spoke and he also mentioned about Tansey at full back . So [this] signing could be a centre !

2nd from bottom last season, plummeting like a stone this year says they can't to me. They are a poor unit, getting older and not getting any better.

Jordan Turner meant to be signing for next season.
