Quote: Madderzahatter "Where do our forwards come in this? I didn't see the game but when we play badly, it's normally because our forwards have been dominated. IMO our pack blows hot and cold far too often - they're not physical or intense enough in the tackle...'"
This is so true. We have been crying out for years for a couple of good, mature props who take no nonsense. Taylor, Dudson et al all have potential but arent starting props who will dominate the opposition and get you off on a good foot, yet anyway. For all the merits of Hansen and Farrell I am still not convinced about them as a 80 min 2nd row combination either, they are both too similar and lack punch and bite for me.
