Name the really good players. There's one Anthony Tupou. Maybe give arona the benefit of the doubt. Johnstone a work in progress who will have storming games like last week and also have stinkers. The rest are decidedly average, some are poor. There are far better players in the championship than in the 3/4 line. Smith was obsessed with signing back row forwards rather than strengthening the back line. Recruitment been shocking for the past two seasons
Agreed.
Now the likes of Sykes, Mathers, Lee Smith weren't world beaters, but for us they were very good at being vocal and leading us around the park. And we replaced them with BJB, Miller and Finn - the most spineless combination of pivots I've ever witnessed - and the includes the time when Tommy Lee was our main halfback.
And A Tupou aside, don't get me started on the forwards. Howarth I think is also one of the few who don't deserve to be branded with the rest of that shower.
