Adamson wasn't good enough when it really mattered, he was one of those players who was found out pretty early by Tony Smith.
Sims is interesting but the source of the rumour means nobody should pay it any attention whatsoever.

I still don't get why people say this. He isn't playing any differently at 13 to prop. Agar just wants to start with 3 props, before bringing on Smith who is the link player.

Can anyone explain what Zane would do differently if he was named at prop rather than loose?

That back row does sound epic, but I think Cam Smith is ready to take the 13 shirt soon.

I think he does a touch more ball handling at loose which is a waste imo. He should be used as a pure battering ram

Thought Mustapha had a great game last night, will benefit from having him back from loan next season, I’d imagine he takes Thompson’s spot in the team.

Anyone seen much of young Penrith prop Spencer Leniu? 21 yo, would cost almost £200k a year… looks decent on highlights and is being cut due to salary cap.

Does make me wonder what the real value of Mik and Tom is… we really need to keep those boys at the club together.

Leniu's a very good young prop, would be amazed if he dosnt get numerous offers from NRL teams, not the biggest of props but compact and explosive.

Would be great to attract a younger NRL player, but I can’t see it at that price when we have Mik and Tom.

Matt Adamson was a cheerleader. I'm not saying Sims is the same because frankly I don't really know anything about him other than who his brothers are. I wonder if we are looking at him is it to replace ZT, who may not have settled?

I think you may be right about sims only being possible as a replacement for ZT.
Good shout.
Tariq is the best of the 3 sims by a good bit IMO.
Hard to guess with the mystery of a salary cap but I guess we would need Gale to exit in the winter to get much more real quality in for 22.

We signed a second rower in 2006 that made a pretty good prop, could sims go the same way?

he didn't look it in 2006 though and jjb didn't either or any other year kept trying jjb at prop
