Ogden needs to be in there somewhere.

We need aggressive runners.

I'm really sorry, I really am but Tolman needs to go to Super League and be a great, honest, hard working forward over there.

His time has passed in todays game...not that he have any Hass', Fifitas, Taumololo, Murrays but still he just doesn't offer enough in todays game for us to prosper.

He would finish his career on a high over there and do his body a favour.
We're hoping that's what Thompson brings, especially for what he's rumoured to be on. We know Thompson offers more than just metre eating just we're not sure how effective he's going to be in the NRL.

If you think Thompson is going to be a metre eater then you're going to be disappointed.

I don't know the definition of metre eater but I assume that's what Tolman is. Besides that (making metres) and tackling he doesn't do a whole lot more. Thompson for a start is faster and more lethal close to the try line.

A meter eater is a prop that averages around 8-10 meters a hit up. Klemmer is best meter eater there is. Tolman gets meters but takes too many hit ups to get them.

Well then there's a ready made hole in the St Helen's pack next year.

I'd consider it a strong ball carrying prop that gets good metres with each carry. Thompson doesn't look to be that guy imo.

Not an exciting game from either side. There was a lot of self preservation going on in the match. Can understand that with less than 2 weeks before round 1.

That's not our problem if he is or not tbh.

He'll be an improvement on what we have atm, but our problem lies in the spine.

If Hoppa and DWZ, Katoa and JMK, Lewis and Wakeham could do the fusion dance we would be sweet.
