Mautilino was rumoured to be making way for Foran at the warriors, with The Foran move hitting complications he may end up staying in auckland.
I don't think the loss of j.burg will be that heavy. While he is a great finisher, he had some big flaws in his game. He was suspect under the high ball, not the greatest defensively and perhaps his biggest flaw was he wasn't the best making hard metres out of our own half early in the tackle set. It's pretty much a vital part of being a winger nowdays. We could hopefully find a steady back from our lower grades, or at worse manufacture a centre from one of our forwards ( talaki or chrichton) and move hunt or gray to the wing, or *shudders* pick goodwin at centre.
As for our front row depth, i don't think we going to get 2 more props. Even 1 would be hard to do considering we already pay the most of any club for big middle men. Most clubs have 1 or 2 high price big forwards and make do with cheaper steady players. Sharks pay huge for Gallen and fifita, but balance it out with guys like prior, bukuya and tagatese. Storm have Bromwich, and Mclean would probably be due for a pay rise, but balance it out with guys like Finucane and Glasby. Even though Cowboys had 3 big named middle forwards, with taumololo's pay rise they've had to sacrifice Tamou and now make do with guys like Bolton, Asiata and Hannant (still a steady player, but not the Hannant of 09-10).
We have 3 highly payed middle forwards in the burgess boys. We can't really afford to go after big name props as it is. We need to make do with the clarks and boltons of this world. In the future we may have to let a twin go and buy 2 cheaper props in his place, but that will be messy and will have to be handled with care. In the short term we now have an overabundance of second rowers ( a huge change from the middle of the year when we only had Sutton and turner, now we those 2 plus rochow, chricton and Gosiewski have experience under their belts and grienke is now cleared to play) so maybe one of those guys can shift to lock to improve our prop rotation.
