Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3058025, member: 8988"] I think theres a view that the lock should be an 80 minute player or close to it, to allow a team to integrate the lock into the attack. With the more modern role, they are more a third front rower (ideally with the skill set of the old role, but rarely). At the moment though, our forwards are being allowed to play a much simplified game, without the wide running and integration in backs play of previous teams giving way to just making the metres and putting our opponents on the back door. This makes sense with a young pack that has superior size and at times athleticism over their opposition, but I suspect the longer they play together, that will morph to a point where a carrigan might be seen as preferable for endurance.
