Small pack in 2016?

Our starting props will be giving away an entire kilogram to those huge Dogs starting props as well
 
Looking at next year with our forwards and back line imactually extremely positive. Barrett is being kissed on the you know what with the team he is getting. The 1-17 can easily win the comp in my mind!

Interesting to see the trend in rugby league of locks being replaced in the pack by an extra prop. Souffs did it with Sam Burgess, successfully I might add, and the Scumdogs do it with Eastwood. Hell, we've even done it at times this year when Ligi Sao has lined up at lock.

Though it might have happened before that. Players like Bradley Clyde used to play like an extra prop. When he wasn't using his skills as a back rower he was often used (or used himself) as a battering ram for the Raiders, NSW and Australia. Gallen plays that way also, but he's more like a prop than a back rower anyway. Give him the ball and he will rarely pass it.
