I would swap CCJ for Laird no problems.
Where do I sign?
Laird is a star.
Plenty of Lairds out there but not many great big blokes. Not that he is great yet but could be. Future captain.
There certainly isn’t many Rory Lairds out there and you are kidding yourself if you think there are.
In saying that you probably think Houli is in the same class so there probably isn’t much point going on.
CCJ could be a good player but he could also be Dean Putt Mark2.
Jumping the gun I reckon thinking anything else.
We have Nank at 25 years old, who will be our number 1 ruck for a minimum of 5 more years, and Chol and Bolta who can play that forward/ruck roll with Soldo as back up at 23 years old.
To get someone good you have to give someone good/potentially good
Imagine a back 6 of
Grimes Astbury Stack
Vlastuin Rance Laird
Teams won’t be able to score.
