Dont forget that we won't win anything playing Cator, Lane and Fash. Mention that about 10 times a week.
Yeah great aren't they
Take taylor and satae out and our pack is a shambles
Or you saying Fash will carry the pack like walmsley does ......
Your saying these 3 would be better than Pele, mcmeeken and mcqueen !?
Who has said Fash will carry the pack like Walmsley? Think most have said Fash isn’t big enough as a main forward and probably wouldn’t have been used like that had Evans performed & Taylor not had injuries prior to this season. Though there’s little denying Fash has stepped up and stood in at the front row and done a good job, especially given we are also lightweight at 2nd row.
Think a front row with say Taylor, Sao, Pele & McLean backed up with Fash, Brown, Gardiner would be pretty decent and an improvement.
Hopefully we’ll see some size and quality added in terms of 2nd row recruitment. You say about taking Taylor & Satae out but take Walmsley and Pasi out of St’s front row and they don’t have the same size and go forward and no team is any different.
You’re not saying anything nobody knows in that the front row options have been and are very weak this season. Both Cator and Fash are worth deals as whilst they aren’t world beaters, they are in the main reliable and offer value to the squad. Many in the game rate Smithies and he’s no different to Fash in that regard.
