Filling out the squad, very very ordinary.

The point I'm saying is better depth,
Hill exhausted
Simms not a prop
Dodds may not be ready for start of season
Westwood plays prop he won't last over 4 games without an injury,

Then who we got,, ??
Only hill is true quality, we are no better, and not a top 4 pack

Hill didn't look too exhausted vs the Kiwis to me, and I'm not sure why Westwood will only play 4 games before getting injured.

Not sure if you're related to England in some way but if he has been given the number 10 shirt at Wakey, that suggests to me the rest of them aren't up to much. Three of the guys you mentioned aren't even props.

I think we are being disrespectful to some of our players here. I watched King play a full game at the end of the season vs. Saints and he looked the part. Philbin is also a very useful lad. Sims is a prop, is a prop, is a prop ... despite what a few "herberts" say.
Evans ... seems to be highly rated by many on this forum. Westwood will be fine. Dodds has just been picked in an NRL final. Hill is the best prop in the league. Harrison out for a while but will play prop when back. Murray U19 seems a good prospect. New boy, Cox is a big lad keen to impress.
It's not even as if the prop position was our main problem last year. Our lack of creativity in the final third was our main issue ... Oh come on get a grip you moaning lot!

Indeed. Our pack got us into many a decent position last season only for us to be absolute garbage in the final 30. One more nasty prop would be nice but if Gidley and sandow fire we'll be reet.

I lost count last season when we got to our opponents 20 metre line and then the players looked around for Lee and things then fell apart.

They didnt have too look far.. he was usually a few feet away, with a bottle of water in his hand, trying to tell everyone what to do.

Funny, but also very true as well. Lee was restricted to shouting instructions from the 'dugout' this year in the U19's, but last year he was on the pitch so much he intercepted a couple of the oppositions passes and packed down several times as well. You can not say he lacks enthusiasm. It will be interesting to see how his coaching career unfolds.
