Heino is a middle back rower. Play him prop and he gets smashed taking hit up 1 or 2. Did you see the test on Saturday. Australia had back rowers playing prop and went nowhere. Heino barely weighs 100kg. Would be wasted at prop. He needs some momentum in the set then can use a bit of footwork looking for an offload or a quick PTB.

Spot on, the days of backrowers playing prop is just about over, we clearly saw in the finals teams with big bopper mobile propsrun over the top of the lighter guys on average , the same thing was obvious when the Kanga played NZ in the first test.

Playing Gal at Prop is sure to shorten his career, he is now a lot more injury prone after playing State and tests, we need a couple of fairdinkum [B]big Harmen Props[/B]

What about Hala from the broncos?

Don't think he has signed elsewhere yet.

Hi Everton,

A bit of old slang it means someone who can hurt and do you damage when he runs the ball or tackles you, ala Chris [/B]Beaty the fiery ranga,Old Cliffy Watson, Bundy Les Davidson, way back we had not huge fella Boxer Allan he was a real tough hard bugger but commanded respect from the oppositian the pommy props Sammy Burgess or James Graham types.

PROPS Who can intimidate you, who put a bit of fear in you, who can do the hard yards when needed. Someone like Gal but 5 to 10s heavier.:good:

Yeah for sure. Super talented, just can't keep himself on the field.

Mose Masoe apparently doesn't want to go back to St Helens.

Also a rumour that Sam Rapira has been moved on by the Warriors. He's been in decline the last few years but is certainly an experienced starter. Could get back to his best with a fresh start - and his best was really high quality.

Mose would be good if his head is screwed on. Massive unit. High impact but prone to brain explosions.
