jbb/james said:I honestly think the prop role has changed and so has the thinking of the clubs regarding them. 10 or 15 years ago a top tier prop on big coin was essential. Now not so. With stats and coaches getting players to buy into the game plan much more a group of props that makes many good runs and tackles in short spurts can just as effective. As long as they dont drop the ball
Even still I worry if we lose the experienced ones to injury as mentioned above
Don't agree sorry, a good hard running tough prop, who can break the defensive line and offload as well, is weight in gold to have. I wouldn't mind the Burgess Boys here, they tick all the categories for the Modern Prop. Big, fast, mongrel, break the defense and score tries.
