Exactly, you need some skills to go with the biff.

Certainly Moa should be.

Try and find an FC fan that agrees with you

In that case they are all idiots.

Far be it from me defend Kingy but tell me how someone with 9 mins of first grade experience can be higher up the pecking order than someone with 10+ years first grade experience.

Pretty obvious for me that our props in order of selection will be

Cusack
Dowes
Lauaki
Thackray
King
Moa
Maloney

Personally would like to see washy getting the 13 spot and see us play more expansive rugby.

Playing 'an extra prop' at loose forward just cries out negativity.

Not knocking our first 2 performances tho

Exactly.

Think thats what we'll see too, with Tickle, Radford and Crocker fighting for the 2 shirts, Washy and Whiting fighting for 13 and then Manu and others fighting for the bench spots.

Spot on.

With Lauaki being able to play back row as well this mean Hull can have some real grunt in the middle of the park should they wish to by playing 4 specialist props + Lauaki.

The signing of Lauaki may signal problems for Willie Manu more than anyone.

I just pray to god we dont have a Willie Manu for Centre thread

I agree, whilst I see Luauki more as a prop and as much as I like Manu, there is a chance we will use Luauki as a backrower at times and it could be at the expense of Manu who needs to be much more consistent and have a bigger say in games.
