Yeah he'd have to be a marquee player What i ment is we already have a squad in place to get us there, so i'm not underwhelmed with the current squad. Dan Russell potentially has the size and experience to outshine Nicholson under the influence of Burgess, so does Leyland, and if we get Bullock back to his best, we're actually stronger than this year

There is a hard hitting decent prop inside Bullock somewhere. But at 31 and more clubs than Tiger Woods, he needs to find it soon.
Currie wasn't as good as people made out this year, he was better than previous currie which was a nice surprise but i'd say he was ineffective in a lot more
I reckon you probably get about the same in terms of link play from yates, but with better defence and hit ups. plus two regular props

Interesting stats but they’re based on total number of performance's rather than prorated. If you look it appears that Crowther and Holroyd are way down on effort which we know isn’t the case.
Nevertheless Yates and Currie have been very industrious.

I’ve always been a fan of Currie. It’s no coincidence the episodes of his career that stagnated was where we weren’t so healthy in the front row or just plane bang average.
