Another prop with an injury isn't what we need. Fingers burnt and all that.

Is he injured? He played at the weekend.

And made 262 metres. If I saw one of our props make 262 metres in one game I think I’d break down emotionally.

Atoni seems like just the kind of prop we need. Glad we have made an offer to him. Whether he signs is another matter but it is good to see us being named as interested in this type of player.

Remember they use a different system for counting metres. I'd assume it's about two thirds of that... There would still be a lot of emotion at 170m though.

Which if Wane came back may be took out his game to find the floor

Same happened with Hamlin is what I'm referring to for a quicker play.

Can’t say I know much about him but we’re looking in the right direction. Props are absolutely essential! Just had a bit of a dig and The Mole reckons Wigan’s offer is the biggest so far, and Cronulla and NQ Cowboys can’t match it. Good signs from our point of view.

Vaughan isn't Fielden, but you look at the lift he gave in 06 and you'd hope for something similar. You can then liken Dobson to Field i.e both rookies with a point to prove.

Yay, hopefully we escape relegation....
