I think you need balance in the front row. We used to have two absolute beasts in Peacock and Leuleui who were the starters, with Bailey and Kirke who were simply there to hold the fort while the other two had a rest.

Our balance in FR can't be that heavily weighted on two players anymore. It looks like both Palasia and Jenkins are in the mould of bigger minute props. Palasia seems to have decent hands, and those three alongside Mik and Holroyd (if he can stay fit) could create good consistency across our interchange without loosing intensity.

I'm hopefully Lisone being limited to 15 minute high energy stints will free him up to do his role better. Sangare when he first joined also seemed like a decent enough, shorter minute impact player. I can't understand the desire to have ever made him into a starting FR.

I don?t think the Warriors is the right club either to be honest.

How much of a mutual decision was the decision to stand Gannon down last season? Could Gannon be unhappy about the club about it?


Either way, good luck to him. I suppose it's something we have to thank Agar for

Spot on. I think it?s perfectly fair the comments on here. Very balanced 

Really disappointing if true, he looks to be getting over the injury problems, and will clearly be a top player. As others have said, I think it?s a bit young to go over, and doubt he?ll be playing first grade for the first couple of seasons at least. 


No doubt the signing is linked with Agar being at the Warriors. He originally touted Gannon as a generational talent, so must have given a strong recommendation.


What are our back row prospects coming out the academy at the minute? Any on the verge of breaking into the first team in the next couple of years to take Gannons spot?

Ben littlewood and Presley Cassell are highly rated.
