Isnt it time that Korbin truly becomes our starting prop with Vaughan ?

Kerr, Merrin or Lawrie on the bench?

or is James Graham still good enough to be in the 17 ?

Interesting to hear Korbin say in his interview that he felt Jackson Ford wouldnt look out of place in the middle !!

Makes sense..

If Mary can play the worlds best backrower as a middle, why not a developing backrower as well?

K.sims definitely should start. You start your two best props. Sims has way more impact than graham and roughens their props up; get in their face in the middle, compress their defence then send it to your corridors on third or fourth. Qld always started with petro and Webcke. Two best props; Loved that combo( go qld)

Without judging Graham’s form I am more concerned about his health. McIdiot played him for extended periods and when he was replaced you could see he was a shot duck.
He has a big heart but the club needs to make a decision whether his body can get through this season.

Jimmy would be more effective if he came Off the bench after 20/25 mins when the initial pace and sting is out of the game. A fresh Jimmy in the last 15 mins of a tight game would also be crucial especially in defence and with his barking when rallying the boys to dig deep

yep - Sims or Kerr to start, need a big body. If they must persist w Graham (imo he's gone a season too long but keen on the cash which is fair enough) i'd like to see him in that Des mold, linking up and using his smarts and offload. He aint no metre eater any longer unless it's on the 4th over the Ad line

Since when has Mary been the Australian or Gt Britain coach because he would need to be if he coached the world's best backrower?

I think if you started Sims you'd be leaving very little impact off the bench. Better to leave as is, IMO

Host

Kerr
Graham
K Sims
Fuimaiono

Most people will probably argue Host out Ford in but I really think Host has shown in glimpses when left in a spot that he goes well, but Mcflop tends to sacrifice him b4 others

Agree but it won't happen Host to lock.

Just thinking of the few games that were played, Jason Taumalolo stood out. It’s ridiculous. He’s a freak, would put him above anyone.
Oh sorry, disregard, I can see we’re talking Australian and GB players.

Graham is surplus and 4 running forwards wouldnt get used ...

Starting pack works .. my bench would be Kerr/Korbin (until blacker ready)/Fui and one of Luke/Brittain ..

Agree RufusRex , put both Kerr and Fuimaiono in place of Host and Lawrie. Both have the size and Kerr in my opinion merely needs the confidence to finally become a top rate front-rower .

I like what I have seen of Fuimaiono he is the type of player that likes being involved and is not afraid to take the line on . Both just require the chance to cement themselves a place in the 1st grade side .

Korbin Sims set to leave Dragons to join Hull
The Dragons will not stand in the way of Korbin Sims leaving the club as a new team looks to sign him long term.

St George Illawarra and star forward Korbin Sims have split.

Sims played the past two seasons at St George Illawarra but injuries have hampered his form and progress. He played 21 games in two seasons.

Despite having enjoyed his two-year stint at St George Illawarra, Sims was keen to accept the Hull KR deal and settle his long-term future.

Had Sims remained at Saints next year, it was unlikely the club would have re-signed him beyond 2021.
