There's a lot of overuse of the word 'average', many people throw it around like if you're not at the pinacle of your position then you're average. Hell even if you are average, it's a team sport and as a collection players sometimes it's even better to have more average than a couple of star turns and some bellow average players. Take a look at the Cowboys for example, best scrum half in the world and a really exciting fullback - it's doing them the power of good isn't it? I'll always remember my dad talking about Swinton in the past when they had a collection of 'average' players but were a really great (and successful team).
Heck the difference in us last season and Leeds wasn't even missing any 'star turns', it's that they were better and more consistent at executing the basics over the course of the season. We actually have a pretty good pack when you look at it as a unit of props and 2nd row if we cut down the mistakes.
