All we would then need is either Moa to stay, or sign another big forward and the pack is complete.

Hope so. He's deffo better than moa, watts is better than o'carroll, so just need a better prop than o'meley and we're sorted in the front row

I'd agree with you there, It will be hard to replace O'Meley of his first two years form.


Cross-city rivals Hull KR are also believed to have spoken to Paea, but Hull's offer, combined with an opportunity to play alongside Gareth Ellis, have helped swing the deal in FC's favour.

Some potentially positive news at last. Exactly what we need.

Be a great signing, also in advanced talks with Lovegrove also.

Props could be

Lynch
Lovegrove
Watts
Paea
Bowden

Could maybe do with one more.

I don't know why we'd bother with Lovegrove tbh, he's a far better 13 than prop.

Fingers crossed on Paea signing exactly what we need.

Lovegrove wears 13 but plays at prop, just from the back of the scrum.

I would be happy with that but wouldn't mind Elima if possible. Just adds that bit of steel.

He's plays the modern day 13, which is his best position.

He has a big engine but lacks the true impact in the tackle that top props have.

I thought we had an NRL prop nailed on
