[QUOTE="ranger, post: 429883, member: 40555"] I dont know man i have davis towards the bottom of the table.. Reddan + O'Gara is a truely shocking halves combo, and there isnt even a backup on the bench! O'Gara can probably get some backlines going, just not this one. He doesnt have the pace to create his own gaps and his 2nd doesnt have the creativity at 2nd to set up plays for anyone else either. Tuilagi is a poor option at inside centre, he is more suited to an out and out runners role on the outside centre or on the wing. I wouldnt be too confident of his defensive positioning at 12 either. AAC has his strengths in running lines off half breaks, but with the players inside him i dont see that happening too often. Defense is really not a hallmark either, the halves combo will get demolished (O'Gara, really?), Tuilagis positioning at 12 is suspect enough without having to watch the inside channel aswell. Williams and O'Connor arent poor defenders, but they are pretty tiny which could count against them. Armitige is neither here nor there and AAC is solid but the damage has already been done around him. While they have a good forward pack, i dont think its truely dominant enough to choke these other teams out of the game. The Mavericks are so close, but they have no one for the 10 jersey. Thats a pretty pivotal area to have a weakness in. [/QUOTE]
