I think they should look young…. we have young but seasoned enough heads in the pack now to give some guidance and show leadership for blooding young guys. Every big name prop didnt have a name when they started, so I see no use in chasing them, nor a broken down warhorse whos best days are past, give a kid a chance.
Yes we are kind of short now, but as it stands we dont need a massive minutes forward, we still have enough impact and solid proven pigs, we just need someone to fill the gaps for breathers. When Galloway, Groat and Gavet come back, we will have an abundance of forwards, all capable. For now promote a young prop for match payments, lure one out from another club if possible who is behind an extended pack say St George youth program, and if it works out have an inroad to a contract. Young guys wont eat up the cap.
