If this works out to a further confirmed signing then we have a real opportunity of making a big impact next year.

With the likes of Stosic,Fergusson,Morrison and Galea in the pack we have some defensive prowess that we will not have had for many years.

Looking at the go forward, Newton,Moore Korki Troc and Latu/Sam we have the best of everything, if the pack can dominate most games then Danny and BJ should have a field day. Looking at this season the points scored were great up there in the main pack with the best, if we can tighten up the defence which now is looking highly likely then I can see up moving up a level. The young lads coming into the squad will benefit enormously from having such a work ethic around them.

With such a big pack you'd expect Latu to have a superb season coming off the bench in the hooker role

Morrison is more about the skillful link with the backs and the go forward than the defense. He's not poor by any means, but he is not the workhorse, he's the thoroughbred

agreed.

If we can keep Morro fit he will be great with that pack to work alongside.

Not supposed to offer much in attack according to the aussies but a demon in defence. could well compliment the attack of Morro in our second row.

i think you'll find Morrison gets through tonnes of defence (when he plays obv)

Looks like John is builing a big, mean pack like he did with Hull. They bullied teams off the park for two seasons (IIRC we seemed to be the victims on most occasions). With our class back line too, this could be the most balanced wakey team in years!
