In O'Meley we have one of the top 5 props in this league, in Moa we have one of the top 2 impact props. Sadly in Dowes, Radford and Cusack we have 3 of the bottom 10 props also.

But anyway, Clinton, although I haven't seen as much of him as you guys and he might not play many minutes, he's been streets ahead of anything else you've got. You need at least 2 more to go with him.

Sam Moa's current form would suggest he isnt 'far' from a top quality impact prop but certainly still a work in progress but none the less showing some excellent form in a below par Hull team.

FWIW I would play Lauaki more as a prop for Hull especially on the firmer grounds.

knocker norton wrote:TBH I would be asking why Morgan wasnt interested in a young, fairly cheap impact prop living in the city who was out of contract. We could see he had potential last year and his current form is right up their.

I would say Rovers should have been looking for a player like Moa.

IMO of course.

knocker norton wrote:Work in progress may be the wrong wording but he is only 24 which is still young for a prop and he is developing nicely.

Dont agree about him not looking fit enough because this year I think he looks in shape (for a big Tongan anyway ). The amount of game time is down to Agar and that can be baffling and I suspect with injuries creeping in he will get far more game time over the coming weeks.
