I think LMS has great potential. He's bigger than Cloughy and is more likely to mature into a quality prop forward. His errors, penalties and missed tackles are a worry, but you have to factor in the fact he's playing for Quins.

We've been linked so far to Perry, Shenton, Owen, Ferriol and LMS that I'm aware of. Good times.

Cloughy's hard yards are impressive in support of our front row, but if he was asked to play prop full time at this stage of his development, I think he'd start to struggle. LMS is a full time prop. I'm sure if we had them both, then in 5 years time they'd be a cracking pair of props. I don't like quoting stats, but for props its a decent illustration. Here he is against Bryn. I must say, although promising, his high tackle count is a concern. i know what you mean regards tackiling, but he's about on par with Jammer in that regard, and again could be due to being in a team at the wrong end of the table

Looks like Graham is gone if we sign perry and LMS. Grahams interview on sky yesterday came across as though he is leaving.

I must've have been half asleep when I wrote that - I meant to say his high penalty count was a concern

I spoke to James Graham today and I can tell you for a fact that he has no intension of leaving because he has at least one more year on his contract.

My thinking as well. No new deal at Saints, a 2 year stint of sun dodging in the NRL then the Big Bronze Machine will be back in the v in 2014.
