I like it, who invented it?
It should morph into middle bacon.

Not too sure, mate.

And as a former prop/tight forward, I'm not too sure I like the term.

I think it derives from the term "grunt work", because tight forwards colloquially do the grunt work, and grunts are related to pigs.

But I don't really know where it came from.

Mannah was woeful? Though he actually ran hard with good leg drive...

He isn't a starting prob anymore but will be a good benchie..

Depends.
Are we a top 8 side?
Can we win comp?
Are we rebuilding ?

It might be a year to blood guys for 2020. Mannah isnt part of 2020.

Piggy in the middle = middle forwards.

On a side note, you seem to have an issue with the term.

As I was growing up, 'pigs' simply referred to forwards. Anyone who packed into the scrum....maybe the old lock wasn't quite a pig.

The concept of middle forwards is a 21st century phenomenon.
