Leaving dogs to find a starting spot and more minutes. ...... I'd think he'd be better off at one of the other clubs mentioned (since when has a new forward been put straight into the side?) - maybe Wests? Surely the pay would be better elsewhere too.......or he knows all this and still chooses to come on over - then he'd be ok by me! :) Top player regardless, and would look good in purple.

good addition to our pack, and backrow depth.
I'd like to see us start with
11. KP
12. Finucane
13. T

I have been dying to see T play in Hoffy's right edge backrow position - and play the full 80. T does a fabulous job up the middle and is a total workhorse but he looks even more deadly on the edge.

I'd love to see;

11. KP
12. Tohu
13 Finucane

Once Cam is back, instead of shunting Finucane to the bench, keep him at starting lock and have Hinchy provide impact from the bench where he is proven to be best utilised.

Super pumped about this signing - I hope like hell it goes ahead. Finucane looks as tough as nails and always gets over the advantage line.

Would be a very good signing if true. Really rate him. Better than Josh Jackson imo

Great signing should be starting lock this year allowing Hinchcliffe back to the bench.

I'm an unashamed Tohu fan... I love the kid! I get where you're coming from about running an edge, but I think at lock he gets a bit more opportunity to run either side, and utilise his ball playing more.
Agree on Hinchy being an impact bench player this year, particularly as we look like seeing Cam playing less minutes this year

Our forward pack looks pretty solid for next year. Just have to figure out who'll get the 2nd bench prop spot.

I'd love to see NAS be given a decent opportunity early on (trials/early rounds) next year.

^^ Like it.

I'd love for NAS to have a huge preseason and crack the team round 1.

I'd love to see that pack firing - potentially one of the best in the comp. .... and I doubt other teams, or at least the media anyway, would be rating them..... Awake the giants!

Re: Tohu......I like him on the edge too. ...could understand him playing Lock.... but the few times he had to patch up the centres he was beyond good. But I'd just be stoked to see him start to be honest. ..
