Yet he made significantly less tackle busts than the majority of our pack.

Couldn't agree more; he was absolutely outstanding and would have been a real star in SL.



I understand that he went home because the club totally stiffed him; and look where he's ended up now - sad story.

Ask that ex Hull KR hooker that he ran over the top of at Belle Vue, that was brutal.

Not all props bust tackles, some make yards and don't get turtled allowing a quicker play the ball.



He's a nasty brute and one that oppositon players don't look forward to meeting.



I suppose he'a like marmite tommy.

A quick play of the ball was one of my issues with Poore, he never seemed to get them.

Fair enough I thought he did ok for a big guy.

See thats the thing I just didn't get with him - always thought he went the other way and often spoiled the hard work he had done by wrestling for the few extra feet, losing the quick PTB - although as you say he rarely got turtled.



I am fully aware of the subtle art of propping, and the delicacies of it including winning the ruck and finding the floor. Now I may get laughed at by some, but one of the best exponents we had of this in recent seasons was Ricky Bibey - but he had a hard time on here and from the fans in general. Give me the quick play the ball and winning ruck of a Ricky Bibey over the once a season kick off return of a Korkidas any day of the week, but I expect to be in a minority on this one.

I've told you before Fingers, I like the cut of your jib. Bibey was an expert at that. Great starting prop, all the hard graft for the first 20 mins and always made yards.



Adam Watene was another great example.



Korky lovely bloke but a few barnstorming runs & a punch.......anyway.......this has been done a million times.



Quite liking what I've seen of Scott Anderson so far. In the Bulls game he got battered a few times but got up & on with it, runs it in hard and never took a step back - promising.

In the immortal words of Bricktop "Pull your tongue out of my , Mary. Dogs do that. You're not a dog, are ya, Mary?

A big hairy one?

Have to agree with you on this one Mary,like you stated,took some decent hits,didn't react just got on with it.

In an ideal world there is obviously the place for both the 'find the floor/quick play ball prop' and 'the strong running /stand up in tackle /slip the ball prop'.

Must say I prefer to observe the skills of the latter.
