Would be mainly as a bench player anyway with scruton and Nas being starting props and hopefully mcavoy being retained and forcing his way into contention.
We are weak in forwards at moment without a doubt. Just don't see point in weakening another area of team to address it. Also bearing in mind we may be centre down anyway depending on what happens with Purtell. Which would also free up a quota spot.
