[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1176274, member: 86934"] I mean, Rowlands is superior to both Beard and Jenkins to be fair. I'd have gone with Beard and Rowlands. I get your frustration with Beard, but we dont breed monster men who can scrummage and disrupt a maul like he can. I think it's easy to underestimate those 2 aspects, especially scrummaging locks. The best TH in the world would struggle with someone as weak as Rory Thornton behind him. I'd also argue Adam's needs dropping desperately, he looks injured, slow and frustrated. Adam's being angry is great when hes at full tilt, but currently he is making stupid decisions through frustration. I'd have gone with Grady, and made Adam's earn his place. Likewise Tompkins is a luxury player, as good as he is ball in hand, hes so wild and panicky he negatively effects all around him, especially defensively. North is a very good 13 defender, and he is at sea at times when Tompkins tries to cover 4 positions at once. I see Tompkins as an impact utility back. I'd much rather see Watkins, or Johnny Williams at 12. Come to think of it Keiran William's. [/QUOTE]
