    A few more of those little offloads just before contact will play havoc with defences. They'll either have to drop a man out of the tackle on Walmsley to cover or commit an extra body into the ruck area. Either Alex ends up running at fewer defenders and making more metres or the opposition will have to commit more men into the ruck area, making more space for Fages/Coote/Lomax to exploit on the edges.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    So not numerous then?

    Plus Bromwich has struggled for form for 2 years for Melbourne and South's haven't had a settled 8 and 10 all year

    Sorry, I was answering the 'front 3' bit. I don't think that there's many better than ours as a unit but I think the teams I mentioned shade it. But not by much at all. Our front 3 are extremely good

    As for NRL props who I think are better than Walmsley...
    Papalli, Klemmer, McLean, Bromwich, Warea Hargreaves, Maguire, Solomona, & the lad at Roosters who's name I can't spell.

    Walmsley is up there though

    Reading what Walmsley said about incentives on staying at Saint's (Wembley & grand final). Is there a possibility that he might reconsider his position if we do the double any time soon, and want to test himself in Oz.

    I'd say that's a good point

    It would be great to keep him, but if we lose him because we’ve done the double that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

    Walmsley will honour his contract. Simple as that.

    Not that I envisage him leaving any time soon, it wouldn't leave as big a hole as many of us thought it would 2 years ago.
    We now have Thomson who is one of the best in Superleague, along with Lees and Ashworth who are developing nicely. Walmsley missed most of last season and we coped pretty well without him.

    We are better prepared to lose a Walmsley (or Thompson for that matter) than we were when Graham went.
