[quote="Trojan Horse":3ut1kbsy]Sam Stone could be a real acquisition. Would improve us imho and rotation between Storton, Nikotemo and Stone would be excellent with Vagana and Griffin options too. It would also free Vagana up to focus on propping. Sam Stone about to hit his best years too. I know Sangare didn’t rip it up at Leeds but I think he would be solid pickup for rotation in forwards and a project.[/quote:3ut1kbsy] Storton has played a bit of prop too. He's another option there if needed.

[quote="imwakefieldtillidie":2t5jj3w2]Storton has played a bit of prop too.

I’m guessing that’s where we will use him. Looking forward to seeing him play. It’s good we have versatility in the squad too.

Let's play him there

As for Storton... I figured we had signed him as a lock forward/ middle, which is where (I think) he plays his best football, but I guess we will see on Friday where he plays.

He tends to come off the bench and play an impact edge second row role when he’s not starting. He has played some prop in previous years but the looks filling in but I’ve only seen him play second row so can’t really say like you it’s his best position. Looking forward to seeing him though. He’ll add some quality and he’s a very robust player. He

Definately played most of his games at second row. Not flashy, but a grafter

Playing a top quality player at International because they play well anywhere and you have another top quality player to backfill, and you have a temporary gap for one game is not the same as playing a second row at prop at club level. If we have an injury then of course. And versatility is very important for our team. But if you have to consciously play a second row at prop in the first game of the season, or consistently through the season...you need another prop.

Absolutely criminal how he was played at prop for such a prolonged period. Even though he had fingers like cow udders at times he was good at second row and barely average at prop yet we continued to prop him. Truly bizarre that was.
