Yeh he is, it's where he started his career and it's where he played his best football last year. Did you watch him in the back end of last year? He's a better tight runner than he is a fringe runner.
I think Tasi will take Ryles spot and we should look for a younger prop i like Sam Kasiano at the dogs he may struggle to crack their top team with Eastwood and now that they have most likly signed James Graham next year.
I'd much rather us develop our youngsters over the coming years. Laffranchi is a cracking player and has probably got three or four years left in him, but he would come with a huge price tag. If we were to sign any props then they have to be 24 or under in my opinion. I wouldn't say no if he came at the right price but that right price is the key thing for me. Talk to him, see what he wants and if it's far too much then move on. Money is tight and we've got far too many quality youngsters in danger of going somewhere else if he costs too much.
I think he peaked one or 2 years ago....he used to be an awesome player especially in Supercoach....but too injury prone and getting on a bit plus we have plenty of 2nd rowers (my fav Phill Graham).

Fair enough each to their own I'm all for the development of youngsters but experience can't be underrated either. If Ryles leaves then it's just Braith and you get the feeling his days are numbered.
