Is the hate warranted for Pompey, Ford & Afoa?

[Penrose_11]

I loled at the original post. Afoa is 3 tiers below Welch and Collins. The stats prove it

Guess I must have a bit of man love for Bunty I am not really massive fan of Collins. Does his job and that’s about it. Yes plays Qld but he’s there to do a job and nothing much more. Bunty I feel could play more mins but the current game plan isn’t really made for him. We finish with our more mobile pack and try to run the oppo off their feet. Haven’t looked at stats but Bunty had more minutes V Dogs and went well. Again I think he’s there to do a job and that it. He’s not there to pass or to set up players. I do like Welch tho

Ford put in a huge effort for 80 minutes and seems to do well as the other team tires. I think he provides good line speed and scrambles well in defence. Gives away some silly penalties but hopefully can improve that.
Pompey seems ok, better speed then I thought.

Afoa needs to develop an offload or some footwork but again solid in defence. Good depth player. May struggle to get in 17 if Barnett, Tevaga and all forwards fit but when does that happen

Pompey is getting better and better and durable af, should extend him until the development players leapfrog him (and when RTS retires).

Ford just need to work on his basic stuff, one on one tackles, penalties, ball retention and find supporting players when he bust the line. Quite a few things thus I hope we get an elite prop so Barnett can play 11 and Ford can be a solid reserve depth

Bunty should be reserve depth with Ale we just have too many injuries and missing another star prop. No regard to be his body for those kick returns, lifts the team
