Burgess is still very young and has all the raw materials.

I think Elima would be decent replacement for fannery, he's not fantastic but he's a improvement on flannery.

I'd rather replace flannery than just promote a youngster.

Yeah, I quite like Elima. He's rough and ready, which is something our pack currently lacks. He gives away a few too many penalties, though.

He is rough and ready and IMO would be a improvement on flannery.

He's too much of a penalty machine for me. Yes, we could do with a couple of aggressive props, but aggressive and disciplined. Elima is a loose canon.

He does give penalties away but I think brown could sort that out.

I'd agree with this, he's not a kid but he's still giving them away far to easily

We need a bit of needle to be honest. We really got pushed around by Wigan and do regularly. Our 'big' players include TP and Sia who both get the bible out and start hugging rather than getting physical. We could do with a Jason Hooper or a Sonny Nickle right now. Elima is about as close as is realistic to those players.
