Looks like the club's focus is signing a prop, 4 good props is the key

Well if we landed Holbrook and then as a by-product of that nabbed Thompson and then Ese Ese - I wouldn’t be complaining.

Hooker is our biggest problem area though...

Addin Fonua Blake and Api Korisau.

Both should be available 2021 and both at the higher end of the positions.

AFB has bulldog mongrel in him already. Built for a bulldog.

With Napa, tolman, ogden, fulalo, sue and to'omaga already at the club we don't need more props, hooker should be number 1 priority and a strike centre
They’re a mediocre bunch.. only ones with value there are Ogden to’omaga And Sue. But Sue is a benchy and the other two pack experience

Yeah, you're not wrong. But the fact is we're stuck with them until their contracts run out, no point in wasting cap space to buy decent props when our side is badly lacking in other positions

The sooner Napa Tolman and Fualao are replaced the better, as for To'Omaga he needs to wake up, as he has the ability but lacks something.

That’s the problem, Fualolo and Sue and Napa should not be at the club and Tolman on a much lower wage

We actually need everything including props.

Fualalo is off contract this year and Sue, Tolman and To'omaga are off contract next year. Adam Elliott is also off contract next year.

If there is any quality props available for next year or 2021 we need to have a stab. We need to recruit players as they come off contract or "hope" for a signing like DWZ

Considering there is no quality halves or hookers available, you have to push along.

Look at the Sharks for example, they recruited/promoted quality forwards over the years and when spine players became available on the market they targeted them as they came off contract. Ennis, Barba, Townsend and than Maloney who filled that last piece in the jigsaw puzzle

No effin way.

Only props worth keeping are Naps, Ogden and RT. The rest can go find other clubs.

Napa has been such a disappointment.
I didn't want him from the start, had a bad feeling he'd be well below average, especially when replacing one of the best props in the game.

On a good day, a few good hits and an offload or two is all he's good for

Signed Napa instead of AFB, he's now on contract until 2022. I think Koroisau also signed an extension, he's now listed to be on contract until 2021.

Most thought this would be the output we'd get from Napa...question is why didn't our recruiters.

It's been obvious for years we needed a real tough 100% hard head.

They gave us Papi.
