For me the problem lies with in the fact that are starters in Coley and Fielden don't compare anywhere near with Graham and Pulatua or Peacock and Leuleai, forget Paleasina and the youngsters for me on the bench there ok its the starting props that are the weakness for me when that is fixed it will make the job of the interchange props a lot easier.

To sign an Aussie prop with a great Reputation, we'll have to spend big £££

And to bring one over from a far higher standard of game infront of their home nation fans and a great game atmosphere.

To a lower standard of game, with a very poor atmosphere at games from fans, with the added bonus of fans and press being on your back if you don't perform, would you wan to come over here? Unless you were over 30 or not up to NRL standard anymore.

Face it anyone who is NRL standard first team prop frward we dont have a hope in hell of signing them, as they've always got that chance to play State of Orgin or Oz squad and they wont give that up. Simples

Need to start looking at the AVERAGE NRL players
