Spot on. We won't go anywhere this year because as I've said for weeks now, the better packs are going to target us and know if they aim up, they can overpower us. Yes, we can probably get away with it against some sides when Roger, SJ, Green and Luke are on the field and on form, but equally sides can negate those guys by smashing us up front.
Vete has had myriad chances, Lisone isn't the answer (I think he should reinvent himself as an edge back rower) Gavet has major second year Warrior syndrome, Paasi and Bunty try hard but they should be 3rd and 4th bananas, not 1st and 2nd.
Ah Mau Paasi Bunty Gavet, if they can find form, has some hope for 2019. And hell, we need to start developing and bringing guys through. Hopefully O'Sullivan plays a key role in that. Since the Packer/Matulino days we haven't brought anything through up front, which is a huge indictment.
