I had a look on the Townsville bulletin website before and theres an article on there saying how they may have to release one of their 3 off contract props at the end of the season because of the salary cap even though all 3 are preforming very well(Tronc, Scott and Bolton were there names).

At the bottom of that it said they may be saved from doing so if Wigan come in for Webb!

Are they trying to palm off an over the hill Webb on us to keep all 3 of these lads?

Would it be worth targeting one of those 3 players instead if they're outpreforming Webb?

Yes. They want Webb off the CAP so they can afford to renew and update the other contracts at the club.

Webb isn't what we need.

Looking at Finch and a person I would have reservations before signing him. Will he be able to stick it out overseas? He has a tendency to fall out with coaches/players. I could see him running back to Oz if things weren't going his way at Wigan.

As a player he is decent, but good enough? Jury is still out.

I'd love it if we signed Webb. Fielden (:oops:) and O'Carroll/Prescott starting and Webb and Feka off the bench.

Webb would have to used as another 20min interchange with Feka. Not got the fitness to be an enforcer or work horse.

He would play more game time than Feka. We should sign shrek

But together, he and Feka would make one hell of an interchange.

Yeah it would be awesome. But I would sooner spend what CAP we have on an enforcer/work horse prop.

Why do we need a work horse prop?

We need a prop with presence, someone who will be on the field longer than 20mins a time.

Someone who can make the hard yards and get through a lot of tackles. This kind of prop leads by example forcing the rest of the pack to raise their game and through aggression.

Then the pack would be able to lay the platform for the halves to play from.

We don't Fielden is still a work horse, he still plays plenty game time and puts the effort in where some others don't.

We need someone hard as nails to strike fear into the opposition.
