I disagree. I think it’s one of the worst packs in the comp, if not the worst. On recent form (not name or historical form) Bateman is one of the worst starting 34 second rowers in the comp. Papali’i would be around the middle of the 34, perhaps a bit lower than middle. Klemmer would be in the bottom quartile of starting props. Slow with no power/impact. Stefano is middle of the road when he can be bothered. Twal is an adequate bench player but you can only carry one of his type of player (whereas I see Twal, Seyfarth, and Klemmer as the same type of player - tall, lanky, and therefore lacking power). Pole and Faniu show promise.The pack has to be much better Stefano, Klemmer, Bateman, Papalli, Twal. That’s a good pack with experience they need to aim up as a pack. Pole and Sam Fainu go harder than veterans.
When you factor in what our pack is being paid, the value is appalling (performance for cost) and must be the worst in the comp. You can find multiple players around the league for half the price of what the players in our pack get paid and who perform the same or better than the players in our pack. Other than Pole and Faniu, I’d be happy for any of our pack to leave.
