I think we need to be careful to judge a forward line as a group rather than 7 individuals. The difference in how our forward line looks since Rahilly has taken over from Hart is massive, and Walkers form is not because he is just playing better, it’s a combination of better entries and a much better forward structure. if you watch Rahilly coaching them as a group before the game it’s really interesting to see how much he has everyone with a role in blocking, making space, misdirecting and pressuring. I would think the reason they like Frampton is that he is doing all the 1 percenters that they want to make everything work, and as long as he is doing that and we are converting entries into score then he will continue to play.We know what happened
He busted his arse during the preseason, worked ultra-hard on the track and won the coaches over with pure effort and sweat
We've been seduced by this every year. Some players have built a career on it
