[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 567886, member: 44093"] Yes he benefits from playing in the ABs, but you're also discounting how hard it is to make the ABs and stay in the team for so long. That in itself is an achievement. We produce so many good players that there is always someone nipping at the heels of the incumbents ready to take their place. You don't just stay in the team for so long by not being a great player. That's where the longevity thing comes into it. haha Pocock is just as much of a cheat as any other good open side, just ask the saffas on here :) he is a great fetcher, at his best one of the best I've ever seen sure. But what else does he do? He can't carry with any authority, and when teams take him out of the game by running directly at him all the time he can be ineffective (see the World Cup semi). [/QUOTE]
