So if we offload Fonua as it sounds like we are trying to do, and bring in an overseas prop - say Evans for the sake of argument - be something like this
Connor Swift Griffin Tuimavave McIntosh Reynolds Sneyd Satae Lovodua Evans Ma'u Savelio Lane
Taylor Sao Houghton Cator
Fash Brown Wynne Shaul Scott Ferreira McNamara Hookem Matongo
I don't mind that 1st 17, but for us to improve we really need to extract better value from the likes of Reynolds & Taylor, and we only really have homegrown beyond it.

If it's a choice between Leeson Ah Mau or Kane Evans to fill a prop spot then I would hope it's the latter. Don't think either would blow us away but Ah Mau is a bit of a plodder and looks about shot from what I've seen of him. At least Evans has the physique, and at a couple of years younger, doesn't mind mixing it up a bit.
Mrs B's XVII would offer us a chance of pushing the top four but as always it will come down to injuries.
This year Connor missed a quarter of the season, Reynolds and Cator even more, Griffin half the season, Taylor two thirds and obviously Shaul only appeared towards the end of the season. Similar in 2022 will likely yield similar results.

Get rid of Matongo, surely he cant get another year out of the club.
