You haven't answered his question though.

Not looking to argue with folk on here but looking at the bigger picture.
There’s a very small talent pool of players in rugby league.
Further restricted by Salary cap.
When I read posters comments on players I just get frustrated by their grasp on the realities.

Well I have. Did you want me to list every prop forward in the Rugby League world id rather have ahead of him ? Sao is average at best and he wouldnt get in many of the sides at the top of SL and none in the NRL.

The fact he wouldn't get in an NRL side has no relevance at all, saying that if Kane Evans got games I see no reason why Sao couldn't. He would also get in Wigans squad, better than both Mago and Ellis.

You could name every prop, but it would be pointless, as 99.9% aren't available, maybe name some props that are available?

No, just name a couple who are available (and we'll assume they'd want to sign for us).

Fash probably next to be announced

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Sat Apr 29, 2023 7:24 am  

Fash should definitely get a new deal, cheap and rarely misses a game. Decent squad player, we need to sign better quality so that Fash isn't getting our POTY though.

If we can replace Wynne, Shaul, Houghton, Savelio, Lovodua and Evans with 5 forwards to improve our squad, I'll be happy.

I'd keep Savelio, but think he will go.

Undecided on Dywer, Mcnamara, Griffin and Taylor, depends on if there are better out there.

Keep the rest if possible

But fash isn't gunna take us to the next level he's too lightweight moved to 2nd row last week and isn't elusive enough for 2nd row either

Likes of fash, Lane, brown are why we have gone backwards cause they are just average at best yet in our team every week

Wasn't that long ago we had a back row of minichello, manu and Ellis
