To be honest I wouldn't be overly disappointed if we didn't bother replacing Lima. Yes he's been outstanding so far this season but we have an embarressment of riches in the forwards and should look to promote from within. Hopefully the likes of Dudson, Spencer and Burke can step up and fill the void. Not forgetting Ben Flower of course, who played pretty well at the start of the season before his injury setback
Got to disagree there.
Lima is currently our senior prop at the relatively young age of 30. That leaves Lauaki (28), Prescott (26), Mossop (23) as our most senior front rowers.
All are capable but with the young lads being pretty much 20 years old (at a guess) then our average age is to low.
We need an old head in there to lead the way.
I am not for a second saying that these guys are not capable of smashing the packs of every SL team going. whether they could do that week in, week out whilst not having properly physically matured. I am not to sure.
