[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 527601, member: 48703"] A bit harsh on Tom James and Chris Czekaj. To be fair to James, he has made a few breaks this season with his pace, just every time doesn't know what to do once he's made them and ends up throwing the ball on the floor or dropping it, and has never shown any sign of improvement in this area, in fact he's astonishingly consistent at doing it. As for Czekaj, he's good enough to be okay as a reserve, but no more. In fact I would be tempted to give Richard Mustoe some opportunities ahead of him, and keep the winger who impresses most, and release the other. To be fair, all three of those wingers would get in the Ospreys side at the minute ahead of Isaacs and Grabham. The rest of them aren't good enough though, you're right. I would say they are all of Principality Premiership/RFU Championship standard, not Heineken Cup standard. Re-signing Filise looks like not the best move in hindsight, he's become nearer the level of Andrews this season. I would also add Ma'afu to that list of player not good enough. No, you're not harsh on Hewitt in particular. He's crap, prone to dropping the ball, and also often runs inside when it's on inside. He's just as bad as Gavin Evans. The scrum could be cringeworthy.
