[QUOTE="Draggs, post: 694919, member: 42052"] I've said on here many times that the ARU are too focussed on finding backs and ignoring the pack. Once again it has bitten them hard. Sure Folau and all are great, but is it really worth that much when they don't get anything from their front row? The SR teams are too busy trying to make up the numbers finding ITM and CC players to develop anything up front. Some might cry that less back-oriented rugby will doom rugby behind league and AFL, but with the lack of any grunt, the Wallabies aren't able to be that successful side the ARU needs to keep fans. Bulk =/= skill. Look at Skelton. Sure he can lumber over for a try, but he completely messes up the scrum, he simply doesn't fit. If you follow the bigger is better crowds though... [/QUOTE]
