I don't think I put Ashurst in my top 2 second row any more.
Tanginoa and Batch have it though I thought when Pitts was fit he was good on the right.
Ashurst at his best is great but he took some time to get over his injury and I don't think he's there yet. Hopefully we'll see it again next season.

I don’t disagree I was just going by squad numbers. Ashurst for me hasn’t shown anything other than been a solid second row for a while now. He has been quality for us but I can’t see him hitting that form of a few years ago again. He seems to have lost a yard of pace and instead of running those great lines he started bringing it back inside more central.
I agree the two best form SR are tanginoa and Batch. I honestly think Pitts is solid but that’s about it. Steady Eddie type player. Maybe less of a reflection on Pitts than Batchelor form but when Batchelor came in for Pitts he was running lines and making half breaks causing no end of problems. Defence seemed a lot stronger too.
