Neither will making him out to be a superstar. He is what he is - a hardworking prop. Its the lack of quality in the rest of our front row option that's the problem.

Who's made him out to be a superstar?

Give him another couple of top quality props in our rotation and he might be able to take his game to the next level. Whether he can do that or not, he's quite clearly the best prop at Leeds and has been for some years now.

The Oledski bashing on here seems a bit odd to be honest.

I agree that he has no decent backing and for me he would make a quality bench prop.
I would not let him go but it depends on his contract and how much cap he gets.
We need Two new world class props not projects and I know we don’t have the cap for that.
McDonald I agree is a solid second row forward Jim.

You think a prop with "no aggression" who "never ever comes through the line" would make a good impact prop off the bench?

42 tackle busts 2 clean breaks. The mist meters in the league for a prop 3rd 4th most meters per carry for a prop.

Stats tell a very different story.

Its seemed to start last year when Walters signed for Wigan, some people thought we let Walters and should have let Okedski go instead.

Just ask Wigan fans what they think of walters “Rancid” was one comment, turnstile, no go forward, not a back rower, lazy,
More fool Wigan for paying massively over the odds for him.

Two world class props would amount to half our salary cap. It's just not going to happen. We need to come up with two very good props, which as other clubs have proved, is very achievable. Still think Oledski would be a starter though.

A world class prop in Nelson Asofa Solomona is available, the only snag is he gets paid 900kAUD. That's probably a bit rich for us...

We need to find two Kylie Leuluai's for next season.
