Tony Puletua : Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:42 am  

If Graham goes, we got to bend over backwards to keep the big man. The loss of Graham and Puletua from our pack would leave a massive void which I dont really think we could fill.

What do you guys think ?

Well that's one way of looking at it, but there would be alot of money sloshing about and if Flannery goes a spot on the overseas quota too.

Still wish we could have kept Emmitt as he would have filled a gap left by Graham and we would only be looking at 1 prop.

But if wishes were fishes!!!

Losing both those two would be devastating, Tony P is still underrated IMO keep him for his go-go-gadget arms if nothing else!

I would be more disappointed abut Tony P going over Graham. A workhorse prop is replaceable, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody like Puletua around.

Really? and who would you realistically replace one of the worlds best props with so easily?

I didn't mean replaceable in terms of his sheer ability. I meant that there are other players who play in the style of Graham, who can do long minutes and a good job.

I think that LMS could replace Jammer, he's the same style of prop and seems to be going great here. So we could possibly get someone more in the mould of Baloo, a big battering ram who might not do huge minutes, but causes chaos when he's on the pitch

Thats a good point, LMS seems athletic enough to go for long minutes.

I tend to agree here, Puletua would be a bigger loss as he has qualities that are not available elsewhere. Graham has carried the team some season, but I guess Puletua has an impact that just gets him noticed that bit more.


In the end it's down to the players, we would like to keep both in an ideal world.

Anybody heard anything about Warrington being after him?
