Quote: FSW "We had a huge pack last year and spent most of the year trying to patch them up and fill holes. Bear in mind we lost Arona for the back end of the season and Fifita injured his foot early on and went from top prop in SL to almost a passenger whilst Kopzac picked up injuries that curtailed his effectiveness for a chunk of the season. We added real quality with Tanginoa, King will continue to be the workhorse down the middle and Gwaze will have a preseason behind him. As for Crowther, he seems happy anywhere in the middle, is always in the thick of the action and incredibly has the ability to never lose his grip of an opponent in the tackle. He is another season more experienced and will continue to demand selection.
Maybe with the signings so far and our existing pack, the coach is looking to move focus from size to agility on the field.'"
For me CK carried our pack for the majority of last season, if he was carrying an injury I certainly could not tell.
Both Huby and England were both marked as key members of the pack and whilst we have had some really good rugby out of them unfortunately there bodies were just not up to it last season.
