With the Taupau rumors it might be the case of it actually helping them re-sign blokes like Seumanufagai.

It would've been nice to get him, but it's a whatever. Just get a depth prop without any baggage and we'll be fine.

Massima and Sorensen are off contract next year. Mass I would be happy to have back. Looking at the list of off contract props I can't see us signing anyone else. Ajuma Adams from the Broncos is the only one I know anything about that looks like he could be an ok buy.

Anyone know anything about a 20 yr old prop we have in the 20's called Manu Fatiolofa?

Never even heard of Fatiolofa. Did Massima even play for Souths NSW Cup this year?

I don't know anything about Ajuma Adams. Of the guys that have played 1st grade there's Jack Buchanan from Wests, can play and is a big workhorse. Sam Anderson was mentioned the other page, he's not as big and has always been pretty *meh* from what I saw. Luke Page was in NSW Cup team of the year after winning the Qld Cup player of year last season, so there's gotta be more to him than a highlight reel I reckon.

Agreed, even if he's just a replacement for Houma, but if he cracks firsts happy days

Raiders fans were pissed when they let Page go and before that it was that he wasn't getting picked in first grade.

Page looks good but may just be a NSW cup one hit wonder. I'd hesitate to buy players who are not making the grade in teams playing badly. What I like about Ajuma Adams is he is only 21, was a successful junior in a strong area, and plays for a big club with plenty of great forwards in front of him. Seems to me he could have some blue sky.

I must have watched a different Tim Grant this year and the last few years?

He's been dog**** for ages and was again this year.

He turned to **** after his falling out with Cleary.

Went from one of the best props around to absolute garbage.

I'd only take him on the cheap.

I watched him all year and looked up his stats the other day, he was average, dominated regularly and missed tackles on the reg.

His work rate was also poor and i assumed we were looking for another prior, not another taga who's lazy and has less punch.
