It seems bizarre if we are signing a second row.
We have Kalepi who is an absolute beast in SR.
Batchelor for me was in excellent form and looks like he’s now ready. Same with Crowther.
We also have Ashurst. That’s at least 4 with options in Walker etc.
It’s prop that worries me.
As it stands we are going into 2021 with 3 props when we at least need 5/6.
Arona
Fifita
Aydin
For me we are in dire need of some big brute with some punch up front and a few other solid props.
A organising half
3 props
Battye
Would be perfect.
If it’s a quality second rower in his prime years from NRL it’s good I suppose but I honestly think Batch/Crowther are turning the corner and becoming good SL players and don’t want to stifle that.
