We need props and locks that chew up the metres look at the top sides.
Storm: Bromwich, McLean, NAS, Glasby, Myles
Sharks: Fifita, Gallen, Prior, Taga.

Roosters: JWH, Napa, Evans, Liu, Tetevano.
Tigers: Matulino, Packer, Twal, Sue.
ET is a gun but he doesn't bend the line. I think we need another prop and big lock forward that can play in the middle and outwide. I think ET will be great with a big 4 prop rotation and a big backrower outwide.
We also can't play 2 hookers with Lawrence, ET in the forwards.
Aloiai and Eisenhuth all fit into our middle players as well. I like the Saints pack now. They have mobile fast middle forwards that get quick play the balls. I think ET, McQueen and Lawrence might get the job done on the edges but they aren't really game breakers.
I think our pack looks decent now. I think we should focus on trying to get rep level quality players that have an impact like Crichton or Taupau.
I'd be happy if Lawrence, Aloai, Sue, Twal etc were bench or depth players. We need genuine starters with quality. Saints are streets ahead with Thompson, Frizell, sims, De Bellin, Packer, Vaughan, Ah May.
And yet for all their forward talent Saints are still struggling! Same as Canberra - a great forward pack on paper doesn't always guarantee a consistent winning team.
