Glasby is coming to play lock pure and simple.
I said the idea of playing Guerra at Lock and Barnett as a bench middle player not Ese'ese at lock or Glasby
I have seen people mention Ese'ese at 13 and I know you have been a fan of playing both the twins with a big lock to start with so yes I have seen that.
But the idea of playing Guerra and Barnett both as middle players and buying a new right edge back rower hasn't been spoken of IIRC
There are a few good ones available like Jayden S'ua, Curtis Sironen, Shaun Lane and even Luke Lewis, for me if I were Brown I'd be at least giving Lewis a call and if he was keen to go another season I'd make him an offer and if he accepted I'd play him right edge and have Guerra and Barnett as middle forwards.
The other player who may become available is from our feeder club in Bondi, Ryan Matterson. He's had a big year and is clearly a NRL starter now, I doubt he wants to sit on the bench behind Boyd and Angus next year so he could get a release if we ask nicely again.
Always the option to move Sione back to the second row next year which looks likely with Ramien coming next year.

Before any of the trials started I thought it was gonna be
12. Buhrer
13. Guerra
15. Barnett
Back then, Buhrer was thought of as a starting player though.
Thanks for clearing that up for us allGlasby is coming to play lock pure and simple.
Yeup McGuire stomped Glasby because Walters was going to drop McGuire for the Storm playerSay thanks next year!
Wally is calling for Glasby to be lock in SOO 2 or all is lost (one hopes). Why do you think McGuire trampled on Glasby's ankle in the last minute on Sunday?
Minor difference depending on the player and the club. I think it was discussed in the Tim Grant threadThese days is there a differnce between prop and lock. 3 middle forwards and 2 edge forwards. Glasby will be a middle forward and if he wears 8 10 or 13 his role will be the same

So your saying each pack needs a good balance in the middle, i agree. The dogs for example used to have tolman graham and klemmer. and for most part tolman was the "prop" and klemmer the "lock". Back to my point whatever position glasby is named in his role will be the same. Much like tolman playing the lock role from prop and klemmer being the aggresive forward at lock.
I think we are agreeing :/
I mostly agree with what you said I just have the one point to throw in the mix.We already had this discussion in another thread.
The role the lock/prop plays almost solely depends on the players strengths/weaknesses and who the coach has to work with.
Sharks starting props have been Fifita and Prior all year with Gallen at lock. As soon as Gallen got injured, Flanagan went with Paulo lock who’s night and day different from Gallen who’s essentially a 3rd front rower. An up and down player with little skill. Paulo is a finesse ball playing forward. Their pack looked completely different with him in their those few weeks Gallen was injured. That lock position and his role had nothing to do with what the props needed or balancing the forward pack or whatever. Paulo got picked because he was next man up. He just played his game and didn’t try to be Gallen.
Same thing with Souths. The Burgess brothers have been starting prop all year. They’ve had older brother Sam at lock a good portion of the year, but when he’s been out or they’ve had other forwards out (Crichton for Origin), Seibold has started Murray lock, who again is a night and day different player to Sam. Has nothing to do with balancing the forward pack or what they need, it’s just next man up and they play to their strengths.
99% of the time that’s the go.

With the way the NRL has restricted the squads etc you can’t always have a like for like replacement when someone goes down injured so you might just have to throw someone in who can do the job that’s on your roster.
If you had a big man like Gal or Sammy who can play big minutes and get through that amount of work, you wouldn’t have them on the bench.
