That aint gonna happen, as much as I admire young Tepai's achievements he would need to bulk up by 20kgs plus to win at just the Aussie level.

Pie (get it, Tepai) in the sky stuff.:cool:

He's better than all of them at one thing or another but unlike those four he's not a genuine middle forward. He's too short and lacks energy. That's why the Cowboys signed him as an edge forward.

Yeah he is an edge forward and a dynamic runner. I would have him on the bench and bring him in as an impact player out wide early in his career then give him the start.

He is the same height as gallen and watmough and heavier than both. I may be wrong but didn;t they both start their careers on the edge before moving to the middle? As for lacking energy I'm not sure gallen and watmough were 80min world beaters at 19 or 20.

Kelepi's a lazy defender, that's why we play him in the middle for our NYC. He's not big enough to play most of an NRL game there though. I wish him well as he was a good player whilst he was with us, but I'm not sad he's leaving. He's not better than any of our starting middle or edge forwards.

It appears as though Kelepi was released to fit Watmough in. Nothing more, nothing less. Unless Paulo takes significantly less he will be on his way out as well I'd think.

I believe Kelepi was moved to upgrade Ma'u and Edwards, apparently it was a tough decision as he was very upset and didn't want to leave. The club needs to move on the cap as it was a mess , and talking to some high level people at the club they will do whatever to make sure the club rebuilds as quickly as possible

Make no mistake, they will make moves to sign quality , and are focused on building depth to ensure the younger players get experience to play with as they come through . They want another prop to complement current stocks, Sef has not been resigned yet, BA wants to keep him but won't pay overs, the player has interesting choice to make as he doesn't want to leave but is weighing up the situation

That Gareth Hock fella goes good from England we should be chasing him.

It's a shame that signing never came through. I honestly think the Watmough signing would be unncessary if we had gotten Hock to come over.

Lee Mossop :lol:

He was in the Eng squad when we signed him. Got injured. Looked pretty good afterhis injury. Got injured.

I think he is top 17 for us. Offers far more than any other props bar Mannah and Paulo.

Says a lot that we were missing large amounts of our best pack for lots of the season.

Hock is a thug and he would have spent more time off the field than Mossop. I reckon Gower's a better prop than Mossop as well. At best he's #4 prop. Depending on how Wicks progresses he drops out.

We need more grubs considering we have the nicest pack in the comp.
