Quote: Grimmy "My concern is his mobility, he's often struggling to get square/onside after making a tackle. A good hooker could make a break or force a penalty from him with relative ease as a result if the guys either side of him don't work hard to cover. We've gone through a series of big 'impact props' who haven't really worked out due to not being mobile enough (Tautai and Paleaesina later on in his career) or simply not making an impact (Pettybourne, Lauaki, Lima, Paleaesina in his last year). I'm starting to come round to the idea that there might not be a place for that style of prop anymore, at least to the extent there used to be a decade or so ago when Paleaseina was tearing it up. Teams seem to be better at dealing with their impact (often by subbing one or both props at the same time as the impact player comes on) and better at exploiting their weaknesses.'"
Yes, this.
