Their pack has had four or five of the best props and second rowers in the country for a couple of years but been massively disappointing on balance.
You wouldn't be in a rush to sign the standard squad players from the cows pack IMO
Even tariq who promised the world may be overpriced on what he's delivered.
Taumalalo could still be anything IMO but should have probably delivered more to date too. Been underused though probably but still very young
it's a fair point, their results have under delivered given their roster in the pack and the halves (half specifically). but it's fairly well known they're struggling at 9 and now other areas of their spine.
and when you think their forwards are over-rated, matt scott comes out and bulldozes people like he did against us to remind us why he's the 1st test prop picked nowadays.
tamou i think has been very up and down since he turned his back on his country and i agree that the likes of gavin cooper, glen hall and scott bolton are generally over-rated.
but tariq is a talent, who hasn't been able to consistenly demonstrate his ability due to injuries.
and way too fast and aggressive to be playing in one straight line.
