I know people are saying Hame will play at prop but i personally think he will play at second row untill Crocker comes as whilst he is good down the middle if we can get him running out wide he will be devastating.

Plus we only need to play 1 prop on the bench given the engines on Yak and Dowes plus Radford playing as our 3rd prop from 13.

Yet you said he is more suited to prop? I would play him at prop were we have close to no impact at the mintue from any of our props.

I'd play him at full back and send Byrne and Tony home.

He is more suited to prop however i think it would benefit the team more to use him at second row untill Crocker comes.

So what if Crocker doesn't make it across?

I'd keep him backrow but once Radford needs a breather have Hame step up to be our 3rd prop with Manu coming on for Radford.

The point is he gives us valuable options from the bench, it's upto to RA how best to use him.

This is an excellent signing, he has international experience and is just the right age. He'll give us the biff that we need. If Crocker comes as well we look very strong.

So much for the lightweight pack.

Spot on, I actually mentioned signing Lauaki a couple of years ago but can't find the post.And if Crocker does get here, then that would add more pressure on places, the best scenario would be :

Cusack
Berrigan
Dowes
Crocker
Tickle
Radford

Bench

Lauaki
Manu/Burnett
Thackray/King
Houghton
