As far as like for like, that's unrealistic, the big daddy has no equal... I like Chins idea Martin in at prop alongside leota, sorro on edge, with the odd middle role, get a guy like hosking back or promote our younger back rowers, hell tago is on the big coin now, he should fill that void, and get Alamoti in somewhereMy two cents. Front rowers aren’t wingers. You can’t just plug in some kid and hope for the best. Sure you can carry someone like that on the bench and let them develop but we already have Smith and Henry in those roles. We’ve plugged holes from within for years but that has been enabled by maintaining a strong core group, including a genuine, top 3 in the comp front rower. If we want to keep the premiership window open and not squander peak Cleary we need a like for like JFH replacement.
Explains the Manly game, he looked flat. Grief will sap your energy, it would be tough to play any sort of decent game.He had a death in the family. It wasn't an easy decision.
When I say “like for like” I mean a genuine #1 or #2 starting prop. If that can’t happen I don’t hate the idea of transitioning Martin to the front row, so long as we can bring in an elite 2nd rower to replace him.As far as like for like, that's unrealistic, the big daddy has no equal...

Schuster to lock?Yeo to prop is an option if we can find a gun lock....not really a realistic thing to find.
I rate Billy Phillips from Flegg but I have been wrong before with juniors. He just has that look about him.Yeo to prop is an option if we can find a gun lock....not really a realistic thing to find.
I agree really. I do think that time will eventually come though.Schuster to lock?
But seriously, I think we play the best player in the world in his favorite position until we have absolutely no choice.
There is zero chance if Josh Schuster coming to our club and not should there be.Schuster to lock?

Isn't Pearce-Paul signed for Newcastle next year?Another left field option I hope the club is considering: taking a very serious look at the UK Super League. Smithies and Pearce-Paul have been real standouts so far this season.
This is going to be a circus, it really is.
Only if you pay attention to the media trolling. Look how the club handled this, f**king smooth as. Didn't "leak" until 10-15 mins beforehandThis is going to be a circus, it really is.

If they can find a 7 they'll be a real problemLikewise from the Warriors. Both parties kept this completely under wraps.
Very professional.
