Quote: vastman "Who exactly will that pack dominate, looks quite poor to me and your backs look painfully slow tbh. Not saying you're awful but can't see where you've improved much either tbh.
Tomkins and Addy in particular are really poor.'"
I do think there’s a risk that now our pack (hopefully) won’t get dominated so often, some assume the opposite will be true. My expectation is that it’ll be competitive at least, most weeks.
Addy offers versatility, and might get into the 17. Imo his best position is second row, and we have better options to start there. I think any suggestion he starts at 13 might reflect a dissatisfaction with how the modern game is played, rather than what is likely to happen.
I think we have recruited well, especially under the circumstances. However, Quinlan will be a big miss for most/all of the season unless Dagger has a real breakthrough year.
