[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1038523, member: 82670"] I thought you summed it up well when you first posted the link. I’d maybe say there was slightly less valuable stuff in there than you but that’s by the by. The Ryan stuff made me scratch my head, though, as he was going on about size and power but then saying leaving Ryan out was a terrible decision on that basis. Now, don’t get me wrong, it is a bad decision by Gats, but isn’t he the lightest lock out of all our options? so if you are banging the “you need big strong monsters to play the Boks”’drum then you could argue Ryan isn’t the best fit for that. I mean, I’d disagree with that analysis but it would make sense. It doesn’t make sense to keep going on about hobbits and stuff but then say why didn’t they pick the lightest 2nd row in contention. Mind you he is a tall fucker isn’t he, Ryan. I think this obsession about having massive players in every position is false, though. I know it’s not going to happen but I’d love to see Beirne in the 2nd row. [/QUOTE]
