[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 669327, member: 24910"] If there is one position on the park that you don't need "x-factor" I would suggest that would be tight-head prop! All I want from my TH prop is that they do their core roles well (e.g. scrummaging, tackling, lineout lifting, hitting breakdowns etc). If they can add some ball running that is a bonus, but hardly essential. The likes of Carl Hayman and Olo Brown were perfect examples of this. Neither were "x-factor" players - they just did the basics very well. In this sense Owen Franks is a very similar player to Hayman and Brown. I do agree Franks has perhaps stalled in his development these past few seasons, but he still does a very good job at test level. I disagree. You don't touch the ref. It is that simple. Like smartcooky I believe he was lucky to only get away with a 5 week suspension. [/QUOTE]
