Arresting Dan Russell for impersonating being a rugby player?

It depends how you play the game, Burgess seems to prefer a ball playing loose - Currie fits that bill perfectly as do players like Asiata.  In the event of your 13 being an 'extra middle' then Yates is perfect as he can do long minutes and do all the defensive dirty work, as it is he doesn't have the ball skills in my view, so he is a prop in our system - for as long as Burgess plays this way.


I see Yates, Harrison and Byrne as more defensive props, Philbin and Vaughan as more offence - if I was playing fantasy rugby league I would probably be swapping Philbin out with a player of more impact.

I would still prefer to see Yates at 13, like said above, He's a very good defensive player with a great Engine, but he's not a Prop and doesn't have the size to get the team on the front foot.
Satae does fit that bill, but i wonder if Burgess has put all his eggs in one basket to try and get papali'i as we're in for him by all accounts. Although his Wife has just been convicted of Assault and given a good behaviour order, not sure how that affects a visa or work etc over here?
But yeah i get the mention of being overloaded with props, but again like said above how effective are they getting the team going forward.
Also does anyone know if Vaughan has now actually re-signed with us? If not there is a possibility he won't be here which would leave us a hell of a lot weaker in my oppinion.
Also i understand the Crowther re-signing as he's a decent utility player, covers hooker, prop, 13 and Second row. Not a world beater but a consistant steady player.
We could also still lose Wrench this season as it's his last year and not had much game time, with Lindop getting injured he may get his chance of more Game time....but he might not.

Dudson, Kassiano ,Bullock were all big lads who didn't really do us a lot of good ,although i thought Bullock was improving in his last few outings & Kassiano was a ball player who wasn't used in the right way to create gaps. 
What we have now ,apart from Vaughan , are lightweights by comparison & it is no good expecting them to barge through defences. Creation needs to come from our engine room to create gaps to use our lightweight forwards as a viable options to the threequarters. Either that or stick our forwards on bulking up in the off season.

They are convinced over on Redvee that Papali’i as signed for Saints they have been talking about for some time now, personally I’d rather go for Satae

Our pack is industrious, but a weapon of the bench would be so effective. If Currie plays 60 minutes, we could have a huge bopper come on for two 10 minute spells of chaos. Philbin is (can be on occasion) our boat destructive ball carrier, and can effect the momentum of a game, but we need someone to scatter the pigeons and tie in some middles. We fell for it at the weekend trying to stop Lisone and they went around the back and Smith went over untouched on our line. It was 30 minutes in, give or take, and it was 0-0. He changed the game, without touching the ball. We don’t have someone that creates space by aura. 


Papali’i would be that guy. Big and strong but deceptively good feet, so you’d have to defend him first before sliding. Satae would be ok. Toby Rudolph would be a good pick up too, can’t get back into a stacked Sharks pack and they need cap space for Will Kennedy.
