Not sure why people are worried about our pack, did well last year, only lost Cusack who was poor and replaced him with Westerman.

The pack or props isn't our problem.

Packs are about having the right balance between impact and workhorses, I think we have that. What we lack is some cover in the backs and some cover for 6/7/9 with this being the most important.

quite right paul, in fact we probably have as good a pack as in SL, again your correct that our reps weakness is in the backs not the pack however i think one or two of our young stallions will surprise this year !!!

It doesn't matter if we had 4 tackle busting, offloading props, when we don't have runners (dummy and live) then they could be capable of juggling whilst whistling dixie in the front row and it would make no odds.

FC's season will, yet again, be defined by injuries to our 6 and 7.
