So, it’s clear our forwards situation is poo, particularly our front rowers. Look at teams that have beaten us lately, you’ve got Raiders with Tapine, Papali’i and Horsbruh. Warriors with AFB, Afoa, Niukore etc.
Our pack is just soft.
Here’s who’s off contract end of this season… not much quality but a few worth considering imo.
Tyson Frizell. Yes, he’s a second rower, but he’s a hard cnut, which we’re severely lacking. We need some bloody mongrel. Teig Wilton is another in this category but still young.
Then you’ve got guys like Wade Graham, Taupau and Sims. All probably past it?
I don’t rate Bullemor highly but he’s probably better than a lot of our current props. There are a few in this category, like Jordan McLean, Thomas Makaele, Tepai Moeroa and Wiremu Greig, who was quite impressive last night.
I reckon we should try to sign someone like Riley Price. Obviously has links with us as his dad is a Bulldogs legend and former captain. He’s only just starting out though, so we’d also want an old head.
Lastly, you have Liam Knight, Eddie Blacker and the very undesirable, but decent player Matt Lodge.
