[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 985163, member: 73144"] Totally agree with your thoughts on Binny, BPM, and have often said that his style is limiting. In terms of specialists Faletau’s return is likely to show the value of an out and out 8. Earl really impresses me, but he’s a flanker who plays 8. Dombrandt has settled at 8. He’s a big unit, can do the brick wall stuff, but he has good game awareness, can shift and has some fantastic skills. What’s not to like? Toby makes a good point on balance and he could have slotted straight in. When thinking about weights, as well as being sceptical of the data there’s also pumped up cruiserweight syndrome. Wiki says Mercer’s heavier than Faletau, but there’s a difference between a naturally big strong man and one who’s had to spend hours in the gym bulking up even if the scales say the same. [/QUOTE]
