Nick Kenny, Josh McGuire, David Hala, Dunamis Lui and Mitchell Dodds are all we need. Some players that have played toyota cup last year have really stood up this year and i expect the some of the ones i've mentioned above will make the jump into first grade next year. Its our only choice.
I really hope that is not our only choice because that forward pack will get dominated more weeks than not in my opinion. Kenny is the only regular first grader, Maguire is coming along well yes, but I dont think he has shown he is ready to shoulder that much responsibility yet, and the other 3 have one nrl game between them, nowhere near enough to be thrown into such a massive responsibility. Just my opinion though.

Agreed. Anyone who's watched an NRL will know young props don't win you competitions. Most props don't hit their straps and play consistent week-to-week football until their mid 20s. Look at all the young promising props in the competition with huge raps, but yet to show any consistency ... Russell Packer from the Warriors for example.
I'd argue David Taylor isn't really blossoming as a prop forward ... he's showing us his talents as a centre and second rower, but he doesn't do the hard yards consistently.
We have to rebuild our front row and if that means losing a few games, well so be it. Your starting pack isn't going to be kenny, maccullough, mcguire, hala , lui and dodds next year so no domination there. But you're likely to see kenny, maccullough, clinton, thaiday, teo and sims and three forwards on the bench including sims, mcguire, setu, glen, hala ,dodds, lui. We need to introduce these toyota cup players into first grade so that don't get thrown into the deep end and ply their trade.
Oh ok, i misunderstood your original post. I thought you meant get rid of Sims and Clinton next season and just use Kenny, Maguire, Hala, Dodds and Lui as your front row rotation fulltime. I didnt realise you meant use Clinton, Sims and co as your main forwards and start to blood these younger guys.
