Although he has an amazing year in 2008 I think Orford is more likely to come as he is at the back end of his career and has nothing left to achieve in the NRL.

The same could also be said for Kimmorley whereas Prince, Thurston and Cronk all have things left to accomplish including rep rugby.

Will Thurston be the starting 7 in 2013 at this rate? I'm not hinting he wont, I genuinely dont know. Because if not, he would really have anything else to acheive at rep level

We do considering our prop division is extremelely lacking quality. We have one good prop (Dowes) and a developing prop (Maloney).

Fitzgibbon?

Played prop at times and maybe in his latter years would be more suited to a role at prop.

Has propped plenty of times including for Oz once or twice i believe. Would rather he played in the back row though and we signed a beast of a prop. (or gave Moa a game to develop into one)

A prop these days and a good one too.

Whether Fitzgibbon plays prop or not, we would still be very light in quality in the propping department

We're short on quality in lots of departments !! Why should prop be any different to halfback and centre ??

If we have signed Fitzgibbon as a prop, I would be even more baffled about our recruitment than I already am. I don't think that he is a suitable answer to our backrow inadequacies but to sign a hard-working defensive backrower as our new prop would just beggar belief !!!

I never said prop was different to a centre or a halfback. We need a halfback desperately, and then a prop. We then need an experienced centre. But then again, Hall is never going to go anywhere under Agar, and I would be shocked if Agar goes seeing as the current board accept mediocrity nowadays so maybe any centre will do
