I knew Guerra would post those kind of numbers. It's amazing he still has that impact after making a heap of tackles. I know his a benchie this year but I'd be interested to see those same stats from last year.

Im pretty sure Guerra average around 100m and 38 tackles a game last year.

His on the bench atm due to our 17 not being fully fit and Brown running a plan thats currently doing a good job.
By mid year Guerra should be in the starting side and id expect some major changes to our structure for atrack also.

Outside of Klemmer, Guerra is 2 by a mile for meters per run and post contact meters arm.
Add that his doing the clean up work in D and his srill by far our best backrower at the club.

Glasby been moving to prop when Guerra comes on.
It doesnt matter really, both positions are in the heart of the action.
I still think lock as much as its a 3rd prop still has the need to roam out of the ruck to be a big body running a line at the edges and being that little more mobile with some offload abilities.

In my time of watching the game...

The best 3 props in history imo are
Laz
Chief
Morley

The 3 best locks in history imo are
Clyde
BK
Price

Now none of those props could match those locks and visa versa,
But all 6 had the attributes to make the players around them lift to heights they wouldnt go to alone.
