Real simple guys, if somehow we re-sign taupau, kasiano and sign tony williams. i know halatau and stagg have been good for us however neither of these two are chickens, neither of these two are close to the ability of tony williams. its likely they will either be offered decnet pay cuts or told to leave, and i highly doubt at the end of their careers they are going to accept a pay cut so they will head to uk.
our pack in my opinion.
8. Tolman
9. Ennis (C)
10. Kasiano
11. Pritchard
12. Williams
13. Finucane/Payne/ Jackson(whoever deserves it)
14. Eastwood
15. Graham
16. Taupau/Gavet
17. Romeleo
Would leave us with Tolman, Graham, Kasiano for out and out props. One is impact in kasiano and the other two will make 20 hitups, and 40 tackles without questions and tight the ruck up alot.
Pritchard and Willams woudl be HUGE two big monsters to go with kasiano for impact and not just in attack both put on some monster shots. With Graham and Tolman around we don't need them to make 40 tackles.
Finucane is my option for 13, he is our product, our kid, and is going to be a star in my opinion. He will make us 30-40 tackles like stagg or halatau and has years to come and will do the job and be a good option in attack too.
Leavees us Eastwood, Taupau, Gavet who can play prop or 2nd row, can give pritchard and trex a spell and really add impact.
It would leave us with Graham, Tolman, Finucane who could all make 30-40 tackles, 15-20 hitups easy a game.
Kasiano, Pritchard, Williams to start as big impact players in both attack and d. With Taupau, Eastwood, Gavet off the bench or Romeleo either way all add plenty of spark.
The other positive is HOW YOUNG THIS PACK WOULD BE.
AWESOME ****ING PACK IF TRUE.
