I've no fetish for props at all.
What I do know is that Bradford's and Saints success in SL have been built on relentless power from their front rows.
How many times recently, like last Friday, have Saints come from behind?
You can hold them for 40-60 mins but in the end they wear teams down and over run them. They create that space the halves and backs need to put the score on the board.
After all, how many tries does Gardner score from 40 mtrs out?
He scores the vast majority from 20ish mtrs, the ground and space been provided by the front row and having a class centre.
Until we have a front row with four big experienced props we won't make that ground we need to give space for the tries to be scored.
Last week Fielden, Feka & Eamon were excellent, but we needed another good hardworking prop. Hull's front row were always taking the game to us rather than the other way round.
Until Ian Lenagan signs the props we need we will not make top spot.
No use blaming Noble, Lenagan decides how much money is to be spent.
