[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 593926, member: 57076"] well yeh sure he's raw, and you say he doesn't know how to use his body so be it. It's just so hard to turn down a 115kg winger with brutal plays like he can do, fends, hits etc...and if you say he's bad to medium at all those things you've listed, then fine. ANYWAYS: man, that George North-initiated try on your vid is SICK !!! and you definitely have a point about Banahan's straight running, North is huge and still has good footwork (on that play at least). But I dunno, I feel ppl criticize the one-dimensionality of players a bit unfairly in Rugby. A bulldozer's a bulldozer. Give me some Bastareaud, Picamoles or Nonu any day of the week. It sounds stubborn and unintelligent, but seriously. Battering rams get you some ground, and chances are they can destroy on defense too. And there's no substitute for a big ball carrier. OF course you need variation as a team, but I want a bulldozer, at least one, on my team. So Banahan's too "raw" let's say. And I hope England get that Ben Morgan fellow back on the subject of strong ball carrying, they sure could use some of those dynamics to initiate some attack. [/QUOTE]
