Need 2 big, aggressive props for me. 1 who provides impact and 1 who plays long minutes. Another 2nd row and a loose man needed also. Too much salary cap tied up in outside backs for me which will leave us a forward short
Totally agree with all of that.
It seems our recruitment strategy for 2020 has been derailed by Fonua becoming available and sentiment (and the desire to be popular with the fans) leading us to sign him.
Whilst I admire him greatly be can't play prop and there is a cavernous hole at that position.
As it stands I can see us having the best backline in 2020 super League but losing game after game due to them never seeing the ball (apart from early tackles running the ball out in our quarter).
