best forward pack in the comp

[taxidriver]

:lol::lol::lol:

you'd think if it was true you'd be entrenched in the eight

pfffft, talks cheap

 

[Dutchy]

I think Souffs forwards are nice guys and doesn't afraid of anyone.

Well most people know that the Raiders weakness is their 7 and 9 and not their forwards. The hooker though is part of the pack, I think the Raiders pack is right up there.

I assume you are talking about the Raiders?

Manly, Souths and Gold Coast would argue otherwise and would have a case.

The BIG difference between those 3 and the Raiders is the 9. Friend, Ballin and Luke are exceptional.

The Raiders would have the most underrated pack imo.

 

[Eels Dude]

I don't get it.

 

[taxidriver]

go back to the start of the season.

which forward pack was talking themselves up

 

[Bulldog Force]

Souths (when fully fit)!

Souths??

 

[typicalfan]

Remember that Scott Geddes, Luke Stuart, Dave Taylor and Ben Lowe are all out at the moment.

Just like how the 4 best players in the comp aren't in the 8. Doesn't change the fact they are still the best 4.

 

[taxidriver]

so the best pack in the comp has no depth?

 

[typicalfan]

so the best pack in the comp has no depth?

Who is the best pack then?

 

[brokendigit]

so the best pack in the comp has no depth?

So which one is your actual question;
Which team has the best pack, or which team has the most forward depth?

 

[taxidriver]

Who is the best pack then?

certainly not the one sitting in the bottom half of the ladder

Which team has the best pack, or which team has the most forward depth?

i'd include depth and rotation when assessing the best

you wouldn't?

 

[Eels Dude]

If you're talking about Souths this is the stupidest thread ever...

Luke, Crocker, Ross, Pettybourne, Lowe, Taylor, Stuart have all spent extended periods on the sideline. They've played every game of this season missing at least 3 of their star pack.

 

[Paullyboy]

Wow, what a stupid thread. I had no idea you were talking about Souths untill others pointed it out for me.

It's hard to go past the Dragons for depth and (perhaps hence) consistency.

Michael Greenfield had some pretty good patches for Souths a year or two back and he has struggled to break in even when the Dragons pack was struck with rep duties, injuries and suspensions.

I think the Eels have a great bench this year (even missing Shack), but one more injury and we are scratching around big time.

The Bunnies do have a potent pack, but I doubt that pack as a whole has taken the field in 2010. Ross was always going to be an iffy proposition, but Burgess is the only Rabbitohs forward not to be injured this year (not counting late recruits Jaiman Lowe and Stapleton).

And for the record, I think it was the media that was hyping the Bunnies pack for than them. Bit of a difference.

Heck, the Sharks still have a very handy pack ... and Penrith were going great guns until the bubble seemingly burst. Just about every forward pack in the comp, except maybe the Cowboys, has at least shown glimpses.

 

[taxidriver]

yes, because this is the first time in history a side has had injuries :roll::roll:

this thread is about talk being cheap

the souths pack still haven't done anything remotely resembling the best pack in the comp

i actually think it was them hyping themselves

 

[simostorm]

Shame there pack was never on the field all at the one time.. woudl be lethal..
Crowe's work gettin Burgess has paid off though.. he has been great this year.

The Rabbitohs have the third best go forward in the league following the Titans and Raiders. This is despite the injury toll.

It isn't the forward pack that has cost the Rabbitohs a top 8 spot. The consistency of Sandow and Sutton are bigger issues.
