    Not a lot of options out there for props coming off contract unfortunately. Bunty Afoa and Josh Kerr seem to be the best options but they aren't much above solid.

      How many players have Melbourne let go of in recent years that went on to better things? Max King is doing well at the Bulldogs this year, Tino as well at Gold Coast.

      The Panthers have lost 20 or so main players since their dynasty began and the only two who sucked are Paul Momirovski and Spencer Leniu, that's no surprise.

      A combined Penrith and Melbourne exiles team would be overwhelmingly dominated by Penrith exits if you went strictly by coming up through the grades/debuting in first grade at the club:

      1. Isaiah Iongi
      2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
      3. Stephen Crichton
      4. Matt Burton
      5. Sunia Turuva
      6. Jarome Luai
      7. Isaiyah Katoa
      8. Regan Campbell-Gillard
      9. Wade Egan
      10. James Fisher-Harris
      11. J'maine Hopgood
      12. Viliame Kikau
      13. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui (Melbourne)

        To say Leniu sucked and is in the Momo category is laughable
        yes maybe not an $800k prop who we should have upgraded after 3 games but he has shown to be a great bench prop who can turn a game, he didn’t get picked for origin from nothing and was the best forward with Haas on the field in the middle
        he needs another good front rower to partner him to come of the bench to help which atm we are very short on due to our own wrongdoing

          Leniu does have that top tier Prop performance in him.

          Consistency is the issue and his biggest challenge imo.

            Nicho Hynes, Scott Drinkwater, Brandon Smith & Spencer Leniu off the top of my head.

              Josh Kerr any day. He would be perfect

                Nicho played juniors for Manly IIRC but he and Drinkwater can make the bench sure. Smith and Leniu are duds neither of them have left their team and played better

                  He's decent enough just comes down to what kind of salary he'd command I guess. Collins, Whyte, Kerr and Leniu is a very good prop rotation if all four players are playing their best.

                      Imagine the brain dead parents that named their son Tallis?? They must have lived near nuclear waste.
