Agree, I think he is most effective when used as first interchange, against the better teams. If we can match up in the first 20/25 then the go forward he bring against the opposition props who are coming to the end of their first stint is immense. This is something that Hill and Waterhouse bring to the team. With them two on from the start we can afford to hold carvel back. Wood has done something similar for us in the past, it’s one of the reasons his stats have always looked so impressive(I’m not knocking him by the way). All yards in SL are hard yards, but some are harder than others. An impact prop for me would always be someone who has something a bit different, a Solomona for example. But, imagine being the opposing coach knowing that after a hard fought 20/25, Carvell is on his way.
Of course non of this matters a jot tomorrow.
