Plays that role at Catalans now, but that is due to Henderson not able to do many minutes. Aiton can do long minutes so Eloi might find his playing time cut short.

Because in recent yrs 2nd row has become 1of the most important positions on the field. No decent team has a poor back row.
we have had 2 of the best when on the field together. But thats not been as much as we'd like. The step down is massive. Love whiting but is he a mini or ellis.

wigan
farrell
bateman
tompkins-cant be bothererd to look but imagine this as a unit has more tackle busts tries assists and breaks and offloads than there starting centres

same id imagine at saints
greenwood
wilkin
vea
jones
flanagan
same at hudds
taii
lawrence
hughes
ferres
wardle (recently)

Everything good about catalans generally originates from their 2nd rows. But they like us lack quality depth there and when 1 of zeb taia or whiteheads out they miss them massively

heighington is similar to mini really. Not as good on his feet but more powerfull with an offload. Plays prop as well. Manu would be a tremendous signing

Me neither, especially another 30+, - we already have 6 30 odd year olds earmarked for the the forwards.
Mini Ellis Pritchard Whiting Feka & Yeaman. we need to cull a couple - Yeaman? Feka? Whiting?

Certainly when both Ellis and Mini were out this season we looked poor in that area. Maybe we don't want to look as poor next season with the same replacement players and/or Ellis becomes a prop.
