[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1071702, member: 82670"] It’s a fair concern but I think where the Farrel comparison falls down is that AWJ, through his performances, is still a massive net positive for us whereas Farrel isn’t anymore for England and arguably hasn’t for quite some time. If we had some superstar, young lock coming through, like England do with Marcus Smith (and AWJ not hitting his numbers) then I’d agree but as I say, on performances alone and before you even consider leadership and experience, AWJ walks into our team. The front 5 in general isn’t an area we’re particularly strong in as it is. But I guess we’ll never know how big of an impact (or even if he maybe plays) he will have behind the scenes. I guess if we do well people will talk it up but no one will know really. [/QUOTE]
