Quote: FearTheVee "Not on the wind up, but I think you are still another front line prop and a better hooker away from a dominant front row. GB is a great start though.'"
I'd agree with that.
The pack as a whole looks promising, but the starting prop opposite Burgess and the hooker position hold us back from being 'dominant' i'd say:
8. Burgess
9. Leuluai / Powell
10. Clark / Flower
11. Greenwood
12. Farrell
13. O'Loughlin / Smithies
I'm very happy with the backrow providing Greenwood is punted to the right-edge, but 9 and 10 are 'average' for us now (i'm to be convinced about Clark still).
No bones about it though, this is a top, top signing and along with Hastings is a step in the right direction.
