I raised the subject about our pack in the Price out thread. As my mates in the South stand will testify I've said for a few years our props don't take us forward like other teams but are picked because they play long minutes hence the reason we always have to resort to the up and under on the opponents 40 yd line where the opposition seem to have us defending on our 10 after their set of 6. How we managed to nil Saints barely a month ago is baffling. We even had Louis Johnson as replacement prop on Friday! However at least he looks more bothered than the rest....he reminds me of Wedge. You might not like Sita but at least he makes an impact and scatters a few of the opposition. Long season ahead.
Johnson is very Wainwright like, maybe a move to second row could be great for him?
And yeah our bench isn't great at all, better now that Philbin is on the bench but not a great bench week in week out. I'd much rather have Sita than Burrell on the bench. Burrell plays what about 20 mins a game from what i see of him, so i'd rather have Sita skittling players for 20 mins than Burrell ambling about. I pray to God Latu will be the forward we've been crying out for the past 5 -6 years but i REALLY don't think he's gonna do much for us at all.
