if we r putting Mau as a prop lets get sandow some prop action too...same height
Peni, and Gower mainly play in the middle they only play on the edge when we're desperate. Pauli can play either middle or edge. Manu almost exclusively attacked and defended on the edge, he's just not lazy like a lot of edge forwards and went looking for work and tried to get his hands on the ball. If we are to play Ma'u and Moeroa on the edges, and sign Watmough then a bench consisting of Gower, Wicks, Pauli, and Edwards would be awesome.
Manu would be a lot lighter than Scott and Moa. I'd guess that those two play between 110-113kg whereas Manu would just be cracking 105kg imo.
If only Mannah stopped smiling people would stop calling him soft, he was our best prop this year and last year. Junior Paulo has the potential to overtake him because of his size and the way he plays but Mannah would still be in our Top 2 props.
Sorry Corey, for years we suffered having a damaging edge forward and I will always maintain it was the single biggest factor in our lack of success. For as much as go forward is important, having edge runners who cause your fringe defenders to hold is in my opinion the single biggest factor is how effective your attack is.
These guys are so important you need three of them in your 17, and we finally have that with Edwards, Ma'u and Moeroa. You add Cody Nelson and the ability of Pauli Pauli to play wide or middle and we finally have got that part of our roster sorted. No way do we want to weaken that to improve a position where we've already got too much of our cap stacked.
I'm 100 per cent sure if Ma'u hadn't got injured last year we make the eight. I'd have rated him the second or third most influential player in the side last year.
You're forgetting we get two new props who add that kind of dimension you're looking for. Both Wicks and Fa'aoso are going to add plenty of grunt to our front row rotation (plus I think their presence is going to force the likes of Lussick and Terepo to up their game too).
I'm very, very confident in our pack next year. I don't think we've looked better since we stacked up with the Bulldogs imports.
Agree. Added to that having Watmough in the lock position allows you even more freedom. He defends well can cart the ball up when needed, and can slot in near the edge forwards when in an attacking position as well. No need to weaken one spot for not much gain.
