The issue with Kasiano is exactly what people have been promoting about him ie: he's good for 15 min bursts.
In todays game, and in our team, our rotation props need to be doing around 25 mins to get full impact. A 15 min player actually robs the team of a couple of interchanges and our starting props don't get the benefit they need to impact when they come back on. Kasiano also isn't the best defender either.
We have some good young props going around in our squad already, we don't need a liability that would hinder their progress. Let him go to the Storm.
Not necessarily. An impact prop still has a place in the game, provided you have other forwards who can cover for him.
For example, at the moment we use 4 interchanges for our prop rotation, 2 to give JDB a break and an extra if one of our second rowers comes off, leaving our last interchange to cover for injury. Our props usually get about 20mins each per half of footy, but Vaughan, Ah Mau and Simms have both shown ability to be effective for longer bursts.
So you start with, say, Vaughan and Ah Mau. Ah Mau comes off after 20 mins for Simms, and Vaughan punches out an extra 5-10 minutes and allowed another impact prop (lets imagine its Kasiano) to go hard for 15 minutes before half time, At this point, impact prop gets a break, and comes back on to punch out another 10-15 minutes, then subs back off for Ah Mau, while Simms punches out 20 minutes and comes off for Vaughan. LAM and Vaughan play 45-50 minutes each, Simms plays 35-40 mins and impact prop plays 25-30. You also then have the option of bringing impact prop back on to finish the game (considering De Belin CAN rotate into the front row if need be) and still end up with 3 interchanges to use in the backrow.
Simples.
