More likely that Watts would go to 13 than second row, but yes I think that would be the plan if Paea does return (or maybe Green).

I liked him the first time, and he's a slightly different style to our current props and would add a new dimension coming off the bench. But as others have already said his injury record isnt great lately and I'm not sure its a priority to sign another prop, albeit he would improve our pack. If we are going to have to throw a stack of money at him to get round the new rules then I would say move on.

To reconcile respect with practicality, what is the optimum speed for a hearse?

If you're really bored, read the immigration rules - full of stuff like that since 2008 and relaxed for cash since 2010

Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Manu
Hadley
Watts

Bench...
Paea
Green
Mini
Washy

That bench would be massively stronger than anything we've fielded all year. Starting pack not to shoddy either
More behind that as well by next year with another pre season

Whats your reasoning behind Green having a starting spot, not been argumentative, a genuine question

I would have Green as he is solid and the other two offer more impact, particularity against tiring defences.

I was a big fan of Mickey but personally wouldn't take him back . 32 next year suspect injury record and guessing decent wage to get him back over here .

I wouldn't take him back either. He has had a few injuries with Newcastle and his style of play, and what we would be bringing him over to do, doesn't lend well to playing well into your 30's
