Definitely need another prop or two in the door. I don’t think we need more outside backs however. Our centres and wingers are all playing well and outside that we still have Staines, Naden & Faataape in the squad. We also have Mason who can cover a few backline positions. Our middle forward stocks are very week and replacing Klemmer should be a top priority along with locking down Galvin.
I think Kit Laulilii should be on the bench because he'll develop into a solid middle. He's not huge but great post contact metres. He's listed as a lock because of his mobility and height but he's 105kg and doesn't shirk the tough stuff. He's basically a clone of Pole.
During pathways he was one of the better players and a captain too. That's how high he was held in high regard.
I know middles are classically taller, Haas a perfect example because they are harder to leverage onto ground making them able to offload, but he would be perfect sub to come on and take over from pole making quick charges through the ruck. A lot of packs now are going more for this style of play.
As a solid lad with footwork means a future weapon.
I'm looking at the back end of the season.
