from memory liam foran was a solid prospect, if coming I reckon he will nail down the lock position eventually.
good squad player, the sort of depth we need

Lussick or Santi. Terepo off the bench.

I wouldn't want Lussick as the 'high workrate defender' in the squad myself - he's fairly poor in the lateral movement department. We're better off with him in the middle forwards rotation.
. As of today, Moley is blocking farkwits.
. @RLW_Mole you can't block yourself
If Lussick wants to be the 80min defensive lock that we're looking for, he'd better be training bloody hard over the off season because based on his 2013 efforts he just doesn't have the motor IMO.
I wonder if that's because his conditioning has always been to play prop? Short sharp bursts, sub off, recover, rinse, repeat.

If we play with three props along with three props on the bench they don't need to play long minute

Will make it hard to squeeze Sef Paulo, Matty Ryan, Benny Smith & Dan Harrison all into the side if we are carrying 6 props, so it doesn't seem like a good plan to me.

I'd expect these guys plus Allgood will be lucky to get much NRL next year if we are light on for injuries.
I think Mossop, Mannah, Lussick, Kelepi, Santi, Jnr Paulo, Loko, Moimoi, Terepo as the favoured forward pack ahead of your guys and then you would think if Pauli was to be the player a lot of people think he is, then next year we'd be looking to see a bit of him too?
at the end of the day it's about lateral movement, someone has to defend on the edges and the more boulders we put out there, the more susceptable we'll be in defence......although we couldn't go worse than this year....could we?
i think there's scope to turn allgood into a backrower, it was RS that demanded he bulk up. i think his best form so far in his career was when he was lighter.
