[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 196208"] And this is where Saracens have had severe trouble in the past few seasons. You yourself Schalk saw it when Saracens visted Glasgow on the HEC campaign and I've seen it time and again. The lack of forward punch just means that games get severely bogged down in the mire and that we never even see the gain line unless Kevin Sorrell or Richard Haughton somehow manage to thread their way through. Don Barrell is a good learner and his starts so far have been encouraging but he is way too inexperienced. Against the Ospreys in the EDF Semi-Final he was seriously lacking against more experienced opposition. Maybe a season or three as Van Heerden's understudy will sharpen him up a bit.. [/QUOTE]
