Balanced Forward Pack

In one season the raiders have changed their whole forward dynamic.Stuart has cut the deadwood, gone out and specifically signed up agile, in your face, 80 minute warriors. As a result they are now defensively tough and have earned a spot in the big dance. They are balanced. Our pack has an odd Mix of sizes with varied levels of agility. We have two giraffes who struggle to get up guickly and defend laterally, Junior who tries but is no defensive dynamo, Polar is a goer but can get caught with his mobility. Reed is a cracker and Browny adds 80 minute mongrel. Marata looks promising, Manu is gone and Taka who knows.We know we have juniors and I think Ray Stone is the closest we have to the Raiders boys. I might be too tough but I don't see balance there. Hopefully we create our own forward style and change the game.
