  Not a bad idea, however, I'd be looking at perhaps a younger, less injury prone, yet just as vigorous and aggressive forward to make the swap. Must say, the Warriors have been sniffing around Inu and I do like the look of young Russell Packer, but the Warriors are operating below the cap and could take Inu of our hands without needing to dispense with Packer.
  
  I know, we offer the Sharks Inu and take Luke Douglas!! What do you think of that plan SBBB?? ;-)

  thought Crocker could be a good 2010 swap and not load up our cap beyond this year

  No, we were fine for second row talent, after all, we had so many riches in that area we decided to release the only forward outside of the top 17 with more than half a season of NRL experience.
  
  In saying that, I don't think we need to panic yet. Brendan Oake will be going better than Lowrie by mid-season. And Tim Robinson and Justin Horo are good enough to play 20 odd minutes off the bench.
  
  The real key is for the coaching staff to get stuck into Lasalo at Wenty. The kid is probably the second hardest running forward in the club behind Fuifui and if they harden up his defence he'll make an ideal interchange forward.

  I like Lassalo and his move from center to forwards was clearly a direction from above last year.
  
  Im more worried if Hindy needs a break we now have very little experience as you point out

  I still believe in Inu as a more than capable player with awesome potential. He hits hard, runs strongly and quickly, has good footwork and ball skills. He is also a good jumper for the high ball even if he does drop it a bit too much. I would like to see him and Hayne working on their old schoolboy football connection and bringing out some of that magic in each other. Don't bag him too much, I think you're doing him a major disservice.
