Do you have no idea who plays or has signed for the club?
How about Snowden, Norrie the new signing Afamasaga from Manly and the new highly related young props Mannah from Parramatta and Verdinlin or something from North Sydney.

I would say we are pretty strong in that area.

Snowden, Norrie, Afamasaga, Selmes, Ross, Douglas, Famelaka, Verlinden.

I have heard really good things about this Verlinden, already the strongest in the club, leaves Gallen for dead I am told.

I think Peek is a bigger loss then Nutley, IMO.

Eddie Sua is long gone, and Tohi Leha, is a really good solid PL player, IMO, I don't think he is NRL ability.

I wouldnt say we are strong at all in that area. Our front row is no-where as imposing or feared as other teams. Ross & Douglas go well, but others are not intimidated at all, infact, other teams are keen to target them.

Compare to Melbourne who have White, Kafusi, Lima, Manu,
& Manly who have big names Perry & Kite.

We dont have players of this caliber. I know we make up for some of it in our second row, but i believe our front row is the cause of many losses. particularly against brisbane who are huge.

i was disappointed to see peek go.a handy player who always put in and wasn't prone to stupid stuff(nuts!).

i'm thinking dougy, snowman as our frontliners, then ross, norrie and millington fighting it out for bench spots.

i'm still a bit dodgy on ross though-he needs to fire up big time.

hopefully some of the unknowns can make the step up.

How do you know other teams are keen to target them? Aside from the odd blow out, like the Melbourne semi our pack comes out on top of the opposition every week. And the best thing is that our props are young and on the way up. You watch Snowden and Norrie this year.

I am not sure about your comparisons. Kafusi no longer plays for the Storm and Manu is a backrower, so who does leave..White and Lima. Not so strong now. And Manly have lost Bryant was their third best prop.
