We seem to be building a team of props, all three the recent rumoured players are primary props, along with Masi, Bowden, Taylor, Levy, Brown, Bienek, Fash.

As Jake has mentioned, if we lose Washbrook, Manu, Mini, Westerman and Hadley, that leave us short in the back row, and with no young players in that position, a few injuries and we could be in trouble.
I think one of Satae/Sao would be Ok, but the other NRL signing should be someone with more experienced and proven.
Alex Glenn's family didn't want to come over to England that's why he's not coming

I presume Manu Ma'u also fell off the radar a la Thompson & Glenn ?
I think it's an upgrade, Jnes is much better than anything we have and one of the best backrowers in SL, add to this a hopefully fully fit Savelio playing outside, we have some real strike and offloading ability which we don't have this year. Westerman is the only real big loss from those listed.
The two kiwis rumoured are gambles although Sao getting very good reviews this year.
