Maybe he did swap from one side to the other, as I recall him on the right. Agree that we dont need another Sita or Tasi type at prop.

I thought he was on the left myself, i have memories of him playing on the left but not the right. Could just be that's he's fine on both sides?
I'd be happy with gelling but very underwhelmed with Gavet or Latu as our prop. Although i've been surprised by players in the past. I hope we have another prop we're looking at rather than those 2.

I’m fairly torn about Gelling, I’m hopeful that he can rekindle his form & partnership with Charnley if he does sign. I would rather have him at centre over Burrell anyway for next year...

Fingers crossed we do get this much needed decent prop from the NRL with a point to prove rather than a coin to earn.

This Challenge cup win could up our stock in the NRL for a new prop, Gavet i'm not excited for what so ever as i don't think he's a massive improvement on Tasi.
Leilani Latu "Potentially" could be a wrecking machine but he doesn't seem to have hit his form yet and is still very raw.
I think Burrell with his size could make a handy prop or explosive second rower but i think he's too big and cumbersome for a league centre.
I suppose only next year will tell us what his best position is?

I suppose it doesn’t really matter what position Burrell plays, we can play with 3 second rowers now and win the big games
