So again. After bemoaning our own we go shopping for players no one else wants?

It's worked in the past with the likes of Sovatabua, Tassell, Jackson, Johnson, Hudson to name a few, the difference between then and now, is that we've progressed from cast offs to having a pick of players, even though it maybe small and you might just get a gem like Tanginoa.
Cast offs have something to prove, chased players don't.

All our current props fit that criteria too

Green didn't want to come and when we had a chance to swap him back to Hull, we should have done.
Released Navarette, who I thought although he gave a few silly penalties away, ran straight and hard.
We chased Battye but have not used him properly, a bit like George King.
Tangata was never really given a chance, so all our own making really.
