[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1177459, member: 13739"] You keep saying that Beard is our biggest player, but it makes no difference, the guy is so passive in almost everything he does, maul being the exception. There are so many examples of ineffective tackles, the 'soak' style tackle that would normally be associated by a weak outside half, not a big lock. His stats always read something like '5 carries for 1m' or something pathetic. Jenkins workrate is higher, with more tackles, more carries, and more metres. Question his captaincy if you like, but as a player he's already superior and barely out of nappies! Rowlands is more physical, with more metres post contact and more dominant tackles. He also has a huge workrate, putting in some incredible shifts during the WC, 27 tackles v Fiji! Beard reminds me of Derwyn Jones. All the size in the world, but lacking in power. [/QUOTE]
