Brett Delaney wasn't a huge profile signing when he came to us (although not shabby either) - and he had a great career here. We have been hit-and-miss with star names, but some of the best imports have been the solid professionals like Prior.
The thing about him is that he is absolutely not a prop (like Merrin), and he needs to be in the back row, ideally LF. That's where I scratch my head a bit when Cam Smith has been playing well and getting into 1st grade on merit. Then again Prior put in a real performance in the CC Final and I'm not sure Smith is quite at that level yet.
Prior has a really good offload on him from what I've seen, and if we can encourage that he'll cause damage.
Honestly I think our squad is looking very well balanced this year, now we've found the right positions for a couple of players, and switched Hurrell to the right. One real high quality prop addition and we'll be in a position to put more dominant performances in. Exciting times - it just depends on what state our finances are in during Covid times as to whether we can afford that kind of quality for 2021. It's tantalisingly close now because these young lads like Holroyd, Walters, even Smith and Oledski are going to get better.
