Maybe Mace the Ace will be coming the other way??

No, that's too much to wish for.

Maybe even Korkidas

The thing is, you can have all the young talent in the world floating around in the backs, but without a solid platform built by the forwards (especially the props) they'll be facing a perpetual uphill struggle.

On the other hand, with a strong pack you don't need much more than a modest set of backs to be very competitive. Especially in SL. Look at Bradford post Newlove.

We defo need 2 props. A world class prop and a prop in the shape of fozz, not great but big hard working and tough.

I don't watch rugby union so don't know how he been playing.

What I do know is he world class at rugby league and is still young enough to get back to his best.

If you are happy to go with no pack next year then that's up to you.

Our pack is having trouble now but next year will be worse.

tough call for SBW IMO

pretty sure SBW would only be able to play for catalans as he has previous and would fall I to the Eastwood Crocker bracket!
