So with asotasi announcing he Is going back over to Australia and Tony Smith announcing that we will be replacing him with a prop. Who is available and who would you buy?

I'm hoping it is a big name who is at his peak, n already a done deal just been kept quiet for a change

Nathan Massey?

Currently in a TOWN, FAR away...

Udders field?

I hope he is one utter nasty b.
No more Mr Nice Guy please. We have enough of him already.

Yep, more stamping on hands and pointless bans are just what we need

Reports out of Aus are linking us with Mitchel Dodds form the Broncos. Good tough prop, he is a tackling machine and can make yards, only 26 as well.

I mentioned this guy in another thread, was used mainly from the bench i believe. And if i remember rightly someone said he as had major problems with his knees/knee not sure which.

Sod it, let's just sign Ryan Bailey and see what happens

No pal, that is a softie reaction, I said a nasty b! Tough guys like Boyd, Tamati and Jackson, these guys would smash him straight in the face, not dance on his hand. You think Sims is just that? Don't kid yourself.

I'm afraid those days are gone. Les Boyd would be banned for 90% of season and then get a lifetime ban. Forget hard men just get us someone like Cuthbertson of Leeds (or half as good) ... he's a cracker.

Much as I miss the biff I'm afraid such players would barely feature on the pitch these days as they would be subject to ever increasing bans. So whether its a stamp on the hand (ala Goodway) or a punch (retaliatory or otherwise) it hinders the team not help it. A crunching tackle on the other hand....

Kopczak is OOC....

Its not koppy

Tariq Sims

Didn't Boyd get 18 months for gouging?

I hope Sims doesn't fall as low as that gutter inhabited by the likes of Hock.

and hes very good mates with jack hughes....

He is a better player than England.

Ukuma ta'ai I'm hearing?

Well wanting a top prop and one being available are two totally different things.
Leeds recruitment has been good in recent times and Cuthbertson is arguably the bext prop in SL this year - not just being of his offloads.

Someone big, fit, a tacking machine and meters man with a nasty - but legal - streak.
That's what we all want but I'm not up on players from down under, and I don't see anyone of that ilk in SL.

Right, now just off to cancel my sky subscription for a few months.

Please let the Ukuma Ta'ai rumour be true

please please please don't let Tony smith buy ukuma as a prop- that would be a massive waste.

So is my Gran.

Where are the ukuma ta'ai rumours coming from? Or are we just being linked with every off contract player in the position we need as usual.
