How long can we keep relying on a guy in his mid-30s?
I think we would be wise to our style when he retires (maybe an opportunity for a new coach to make the side his own). When you look around the league, there aren't really many ball playing loose forwards around anymore. Where Saints and Leeds had Sculthorpe and Sinfield, they now have LMS and Cuthbertson. A big loose forward would help make up for our lightweight second row, and it wouldn't wreck our game plan when a reserve comes in, as the job would be simpler. Of course to do this, we would need far more creativity from 7 and 9 than we currently get.
