The better props though with some exceptions are 115khs or there abouts

You're right; many highly effective props in rugby league often weigh around 115 kg. This additional mass can be advantageous for several reasons:

1. **Physical Presence**: Heavier props bring more power to scrummaging and contact situations, which can be crucial in gaining ground and asserting dominance over the opposition.

2. **Impact in Tackles**: Greater mass can contribute to harder tackles, making it challenging for opponents to break through defensive lines.

3. **Ball Carrying**: While carrying the ball, a heavier prop can potentially break through tackles and drive forward, creating opportunities for teammates.

It's worth noting, however, that there's a balance to be maintained. While being heavier can offer advantages in physical confrontations, props still need to maintain a level of agility and endurance to be effective throughout the match. The focus should be on functional weight gain, where the added mass is primarily muscle, enhancing strength and power without sacrificing mobility or stamina.

For a player like Josiah, reaching around 115 kg could be a goal, especially within a professional training environment where strength, conditioning, and nutritional programs are meticulously tailored. The coaching staff will ensure that any weight gain aligns with the player’s role and the team's overall strategy, optimizing performance without compromising agility or pace.

The New Zealand Warriors' focus on prop prospects around the 102-105 kg range makes sense, considering the balance they seek between size, strength, and agility at the professional level. Props need to be physically robust to handle the demands of scrummaging and strong defensive and offensive plays, but they also need to remain agile enough to contribute effectively in open play.

Recruiting players in this weight range allows the coaching staff to mold these athletes through tailored strength and conditioning programs, potentially adding muscle mass and technical skills as they develop. This approach gives the team flexibility in shaping players according to their strategic needs while ensuring they maintain the ability to perform effectively on the field.

Josiah, already fitting within this targeted range, would likely continue to develop under a professional program designed to enhance his strength, fitness, and skill set, ensuring he can handle the physicality of the game while also contributing dynamically across various facets of play.

Do lower control arm bushings wear out at the same rate as the ball joint at the other end?

Lower control arm bushings and ball joints perform different functions within the suspension system, and their wear rates can vary based on several factors. Here’s a breakdown of their respective roles and factors affecting their lifespan:

1. **Function and Wear**:
- **Control Arm Bushings**: These bushings are typically made of rubber or polyurethane, and they provide cushioning and flexibility to the control arm, absorbing road noise and vibrations. They can wear out due to exposure to road salt, dirt, and heat over time, leading to cracking or becoming brittle.
- **Ball Joints**: These serve as pivot points between the control arm and the steering knuckle, allowing for smooth movement and steering. They experience wear from constant motion and stress due to turning and road conditions.

2. **Factors Affecting Wear**:
- **Driving Conditions**: Exposure to rough roads, potholes, and frequent off-roading can accelerate wear on both components.
- **Vehicle Load**: Heavier loads can increase strain on the suspension system, leading to faster degradation.
- **Maintenance and Inspection**: Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify and address early signs of wear, potentially extending the life of these components.

3. **Replacement Considerations**:
- It's not uncommon for ball joints and bushings to wear out at different rates. Ball joints might experience more wear if the vehicle frequently navigates tight turns or rough terrain, while bushings might degrade more quickly if exposed to the elements or if they dry out over time.
- When replacing components, it’s often a good idea to inspect both parts simultaneously, as worn bushings can affect the performance of ball joints and vice versa.

Ultimately, the wear rate will depend on the specific conditions and how the vehicle is used. Regular inspections by a qualified mechanic can help ensure both the bushings and ball joints are in good working condition, enhancing vehicle performance and safety. If you have more questions about vehicle maintenance or anything else related, feel free to ask!
