Well he’s playing like he’s very unhappy so he probably needs to get it out of the way.
Nah as in where he’s going should be announced. I said earlier the longer this goes the more likely I think he doesn’t sign with us. And if Dale Finucance is now available I would much rather him

There is probably pro’s and cons of signing either mate Finucane brings a lot of professionalism and work ethic but I think we still need a bigger body to partner Thommo. Regardless of who we sign we will need more from Hethro next year so there is a genuine prop rotation.

13 and prop is the same except where they lock in a scrum
Not in the past and not in the future, maybe some truth over recent seasons but look at some of the better teams last few years Storm have had Smith there, Roosters Radley, south’s Murray and Panthers Yeo.

It is going more towards a more mobile ball playing forward, not quite the second 5/8 of old but definitely not a third prop.

Props and second rowers are obviously different and either of them can be moulded into a lock where they both offer very different things. "13 and prop is the same" just isn't true and the meta actually is to have a more mobile, ball playing lock (e.g. second rowers - Radley, Murray). Rudolf is clearly a prop lock (so can play either).

Leniu, Piakura, Rudolf... we have struggled to attract quality forwards
