Best prop in the league.

Just be surprised though really. Strikes me as a solid prop, but bit too old-school I guess, in that he rarely offloads (from what I've seen), but a good 'workhorse'.
Think Galea or Newton bring more to a team with their range of skills, but admittedly I can be a little biased.

By quite a margin as well.

Sorry but I had to

No honestly I rate them both above him.

He's too much like the 70's/80's prop - 8 pints of Stones night before, then up-the-jumper performance on the Sunday.

Vella
Fozzard

You must have been out last night

That's probably the worrying thing - not out till tonight!

Nah, admittedly good props well Fozzy was in his day


Vella is good but not that good.

Still got it

(as Cordoba found out





).

Rate Vella really highly, e.g. his vision and offloads, but again I realise I'm going to naturally be biast because of who he plays for.

sounds like Alis G pronouncing beast



Ok we will both agree you are biased

Oh yeah, do'h.





Reckon Michael Smith would have been a regular contender back in the day if could have had better fitness/dedication.
