I think Mitch realised when he toyed with players like David Te Moana and David Fitter that they could at best get parity in exchange for a massive loss of work around the field. So either we would lose by being belted in the scrums or lose by being belted at the breakdown and through missed tackles. What do you choose? And yeah perhaps we should've tried to pick up a player like Ben Coutts who were pretty good all rounders but perhaps he realised the Wallabies thing wasn't going to happen and wanted the money of Europe over playing in Australia. Force management did try to find a decent marquee prop for 2009 but by the time the ARU got their act together pretty much anyone worth having was locked in to a contract. Hopefully Trevor Woodman (if he does end up coming) will be able to teach our guys a few tricks and our biggest weakness might be reduced a little.
