Going by Chesters interviews he mentions arona and TANGINOA don't stints at prop. Going for a mobile pack. Tbf it's been a while since we had a prop busting holes in the defence..

I know that he got injured but Fifita played most of last season and punched plenty of holes in opposition defences, as did Pauli, although he didn't seem to like the defensive side of the game.
The problem last season is that we ran out of fit starting props.

Personally think Tanginoa was much more effective when he was playing a bit wider was the point i was trying to make. Fast for a big lad as well.

Ashurst, Kirmo, Batch, King, Crowther, Westerman, Arona, Arundel, Tanginoa, Atkins, Aydin, Gwaze - all capable of playing that role. So no still think it's a position where we're not thin on the ground.

The second rows in that list are
Ashurst, Kirmond, Batch, Tanginoa.
The rest can cover...... That's not the same.

Just read our favourite local weekly rag and there is a quote from Chessie saying "I am looking at a top quality signing from the NRL, that'll compliment the side"....sounds promising

We are going for quantity over quality .Tanginoa as been the best second row player i'v seen at Wakefield for a long time .To play him at prop is a waste

Why is it a waste, he plays like a prop anyway. S long as he's doing what the coach wants hime to do I'm fine with it.

Re: Player announcement -12pm Jay Pitts : Fri Oct 25, 2019 2:39 pm  

Would prefer him at second row, with Ashurst/Bachelor, the other, fitness permitting, with Pitts and then Kirmo providing the cover there where needed. Although if Capewell were to come in, then that would change things a bit.

Then the rest of the forwards

Front Row - Fifita, Green, Kopzcak, with cover from Arona and King

LF: Westerman, Crowther, Arona.

For me, need to bolster that front row now

Re: Player announcement -12pm Jay Pitts : Fri Oct 25, 2019 2:45 pm  

Last season Kelepi played 10 games at Prop/loose and 5 at second row so he’s already being used more as a prop

Re: Player announcement -12pm Jay Pitts : Fri Oct 25, 2019 2:52 pm  

Well, no matter who we prefer in what position, CC will make his own mind up. The point is Pitts is a SL standard player and the squad is building nicely.

With all rispect Daddycool he played 2 part games in the Centre after Centre being taken injured and looked class . If you are after a over sea player hope you can sign some one as good as him lol
