This is my fear, I'd rather we split our two best props up a bit as opposed to them being on the pitch exactly at the same time. Notwithstanding we have a great pack and some depth having greater balance and consistency over the full 80 minutes is the key to winning more games as opposed to dropping off due to fatigue or less quality/impact coming on at certain points in the match.

We have certainly got plenty of go forward in the pack so hopefully when Taylor & Watts are interchanged we wont see any negative impact like we have seen in the past when the replacement forwards come on and we lost ground at crucial times.
Between watts Ellis and Taylor all have big mins in them so 1 should always be on the field. 2 will be together for big periods and all 3 at points. Also their big mins would allow us to use feka as a pure impact player. A luxury few teams have or use these days

Yes, good point. Ellis if fit can play long minutes as well, as long as he is not flogged. Playing Feka for about 10 minutes each half will make him much more effective. Be interesting what he does with Manu and Pritchard. I think one of them will start from the bench.

manu or washbrook will play 13 with the other one on the bench I reckon
Quite like the fact the manu signing as seemed to of gone completley under the radar, he didnt have the best nrl season last year, but until then was a very good nrl forward. Better than mini, and look how well hes gone in super league. Think manu will suprise a few next season

Reportedly we beat Leeds to his signature. Difficult one to predict.
