[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1064714, member: 59968"] We don’t have a pelthora of big players with the skill set we need. There are some big beasts around, but for the most part, they’re not bringing anything other than size to the party. Someone like Ehren Painter might be massive, but that doesn’t mean he’s worth looking at. I think there are 2 issues: 1) we have a pack that is punching under it’s weight. It’s not light in terms of actual weight, but for whatever reason, the power output as a unit just isn’t matching the kgs. 2) we’re asking a more mobile pack to play like it’s a powerful pack which isn’t working. When I look at how Eddie had the Japanese pack playing, I can’t understand why we’re not doing something similar? Generally speaking we’re not being blown off the park, but I do think we’d be far closer to playing to our strengths by focusing on technique and mobility. [/QUOTE]
