Clubs need players like Garner to fill the gaps and be salary cap compliant. With Garner in the side there was no need to carry a back on the bench. God help us, Maguire,s bench and now Noddy,s leave a lot to be desired. In the past, with the amount of time some benches got, we were basically playing with 16 against 17.

Great point.
One thing that drives me crazy is having a dummy half on the bench - who can only play that position.
A typical "number 14" I think is wise, but 3 forwards and another hooker makes for exactly the situation you mentioned and they too often find themselves in it.

We have had a soft underbelly literally the whole time he has been a second rower here. Next to prop, the position where you need mongrel, power and intimidation the most. Next to Robert Jennings letting him go has made me the happiest that any WT decision has made me in a while.

He's no hard nut and yes, they definitely need to find some aggression.
I just like him. Some you do, some you just don't.
As I said, he wouldn't have been on a huge salary, was rarely injured (could be wrong), played out of position and didn't look to spit it.
No biggie his leaving but not a player I'd be moving heaven and earth to move on.

We have plenty of mediocre guys, hence our position in rugby league. Also rans.
