Yeah,we'd have Apollo, Sonny & Juilian O'Neil, with Vila as back up, in 2000, but that was as strong as it got there.
Despite the fantastic signings of Fairleigh and Britt, as the guys above left, we didn't replacethem well and ended up forcing players like Stankevich, Jonkers & Sheils into the front row, which was rubbish.

Props win Pots. 2006 - Cayless, Baloo, Fozzard, Jammer and Maurie

THAT was a scary front row.

Now we're looking at Jammer, Teddy (good nick name, josh), Tony P & LMS, which considering the constriants of a slary cap, is as good as you can ask for imo.

I don't think there is a better front four in SL.

I think next years front row is potentially equal to 2006's front row, which is immense. If we keep them all fit we'll be top 2 easy

Depends really. Perry looked terrible at the end of last season. ZERO go forward and was tossed around with embarassing ease. I hope it was due to him comming back from an injury. Graham looks disienterested and his head is obv in Australia. With regards Tony P, it depends which Tony P turns up, the lazy cba Tony P of 2009 or the, at times devastating Tony P of last season. LMS is vastly overated.

Wigans front row will once again set the bar, and by a huge way

The Troll Strikes again.

Your either joking or just a t!t with no idea what your going on about. Perry is an Aussie test prop and Graham is the best british prop by a country mile. LMS has alot of potential and and Tony P was immense for us at times last season. Lima at Wigan will be a big step up for them but no front row in England worry's me if we keep our 4 fit

Can I just point out that this is one of the biggest distortions of truth that have appeared on this forum in the past two years. Puletua was comfortably our second best yardage making forward that year and was 8th overall in the league in metres made. Only Graham, Peacock and Lynch made more yards as a forward that season. I believe the fallacy first arose from posts by less observant fans on Saints forums, including this one. He had a good year for us this year but in 2009 he made more yards, more breaks, more tackle busts, scored more tries and made more tackles. Again, you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Well, yeah, but apart from that, what has Tony P ever done for us?

As you imply tony p has been immense for us, our best forward import in many years, I hope he extends his stay
