I couldn't agree more, alot of players have gone stale since McNamara took over and its coincidence they have gone backwards. I think this signing could pay dividends over the coming years.

If ya say so

I hope Justin does not try and turn Cook into a prop. He has the potential to an exciting, wide running player like Newton. A lot of people were sceptical when Lovegrove played prop but it has payed off. He has tried with Netherton but he doesnt make an impact at prop. I feel another big front rower is needed especially now Makka is going.

depends what you look for in a prop doesnt it, are you purely looking at Netherton in an attacking role (by your post you are) but try looking at the other 50% of his game and see he's a defender who you'll be lucky to find many better at doing the same job as he's out there to do.

Rugby League is about attacking AND defending yet players are purely judged on their attack (unless their defence is poor then its t'other way round).

I don't judge players on just their attack and rate Netherton as an honest hard working player. What I meant was not all players can make an easy transition to another position. Lovegrove has done it successfully but I believe Netherton is out of position at prop.
