Cant remember where i read it mate. I hold Price's thoughts in very high regard though.

You wont get any disagreements from me there.

We have brought quite a few in as well just they were the wrong ones!

An overseas half and a young British half should be brought in IMO because we need both cover and longer term planning.

no need to swear! after injury prone dykes and matty head, and then thorman i'm hoping we might get it right this time around. sean long was a great signing but happened a few years late with him picking up injuries. i'm optimistic we might sign someone decent

I agree that does look like a good front row but what happens when one or two of them are injured ? We cannot go into a season with three recognised props and backrow cover. Our recent look with injuries will soon find us out.

As for Prescott, he's not even nearly big enough for a prop. Very disappointed watching him last night because he reminds me very much of Wheeldon, lots of heart/courage but never going to be big enough or good enough.

LUCK !!!!

Despite the fact he's been named at 13, Fitzgibbon is still pretty much a prop. He's essentially done what Radford did there before being named in the front row, just to a higher standard and for 80 minutes. I think he can be recognised enough to be an actual prop, not just a backrow covering up.

As for if there was an injury, that's when I'd move Lauaki up and bring in probably Burnett or Whiting if he can put weight on. Would still sooner see us bring a prop in though, personally.
