mattsrhinos1978:The Eclipse":28khz4d6]How do we rate our forward pack heading into the new season.
Potential starting pack:
8. Jay Oladipupo
9. Harvey Butterworth
10. Joe Butterfield
11. Jacob Stead
12. Zak Lloyd
13. Presley Cassell[/quote:28khz4d6]
Extremely talented pack, if developed correctly, should be the best pack in Academy rugby, by a distance.
But there lies the problem, development. Mentioned in the pre-season thread, i cant believe the lack of physical development these second year academy lads look to have had over the last 12 month, granted thats the backs, but they looked tiny, like they hadnt been in a gym for the last year.
Fortunately, the packs got plenty of natural size
7.Smith
6.Brown
Two quality halfs, with Jacob Hardy, who can play backrow, 6 or centre, potentially the best player out of all of them, to fit in somewhere aswel.
Hardy looks one hell of a prospect.
