Javid bowen - Think we are OK in the backs Aubusson. Second row - Staying in Australia, most likely get a job with the Roosters as a big club man Joel thompson. Second row - Very possible

Absolutely agree about props as a priority (don't know from where). Compare our forwards with, for example, Wakey's. As I posted on the Wakey match thread, they have in their squad for tomorrow: David Fifita (6ft 4ins, 18st 13lb), Pauli Pauli (6ft 5ins, 18st 13lb), Keegan Hirst (6ft 5ins, 19st 3lb), Craig Kopczak (6ft 4ins, 17st), Justin Horo (6ft 3ins, 15st 10oz), with Tinirau Arona for good measure (he's a relative lightweight at 5ft 11ins and 16st 10lb)!

Great points about Wakefield's strength in depth in the forwards tomorrow. Exposes our comparative weakness IMO, and emphasises why this needs to be a priority.

Size isn't everything though.
The only really top drawer player you mention there is Fifita. Pauli is a handful. The rest are a bit meh.

Glenn looks like a straight Mini replacement to me. Would be a great signing to pull off alongside a decent prop to replace Ellis in the middle of the park.
George Burgess getting little gametime for the bunnies but I doubt he'll leave Oz.

Don't know anything about Glenn. How good is he? Hoping not an ageing Nrl player just looking for a pension top up. If he's as good as Mini and Manu when we signed them, I'll be happy.
