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

I agree with the second sentence. I don't doubt Kelepi can do a job at prop but why you'd move arguably your best player from his best position is daft. Tanginoa caused havoc running wide and he might do well at Prop but I'm not sure it would make us more effective as a team at all as he would at second row. Would be like moving Harry Kane to playing behind the striker instead of being the actual striker or something. You just don't do it. Green, Fifita, Kopzcak, even Arona (if Westerman and Crowther are loose forwards) are decent for your 4 props. I'd say prop is the position we need to sign as our last signing. Would be ecstatic if we could get a decent NRL prop in.

King is the 4th prop for me.

Fair enough. I see him as similar to Arona in that position.

people forget that king's not a small guy, 6'3 and nearly 110kgs, the lads played nearly everywhere on the pack but mostly Prop and then backrow.

He is a big guy and he runs straight and hard like a prop should.
I'm happy with him at prop.

No, he looks tall enough but he doesn't look that, however being tall only helps if you have the heart to match, see PP.

What are you telling me, Wikipedia's wrong Personally I've never stood next to him but he looks taller than Arona when they're next to each other, anyway long story short he can smash it in down the middle of the park.

Jordan is 6’2 and George is smaller, Wikipedia Shiite is wrong that’s a fact

Even if he's only 6 feet tall, I'm still OK with him at prop.
He makes unspectacular yards but good yards all the same and he is usually one of tge best in terms of missed tackles and errors. We need one of those in the team.
