Quote ="garry brindley"Sean Long signed on a 2 year deal.'"
Was by far the best available given what the team needed at the time. Hasn't worked out well, not Agar's fault.
Quote ="garry brindley"Richard Horne given a new 3 year contract.'"

Quote ="garry brindley"Lee Radford given a new 2 (!) year deal.'"

Quote ="garry brindley"Ewan Dowes given a new one year deal.'"
As a 5th prop, I certainly don't think Dowes is the worst.
Quote ="garry brindley"Peter Cusack's contract extension.'"

Yeaman, Whiting, Turner has played most of his SL career there, then there's Briscoe.
Quote ="garry brindley"Stockpiling second rowers.'"
Luauki is now a prop, as should Fitz be. So that leaves Tickle, Manu and Westerman(who's a 13).
Quote ="garry brindley"Using quota spots on Moa and Lauaki and then barely using them.'"
They're not wastes if used correctly, and i've previously stated that Agar's bench baffles me.
