I think Carter is improving as a lock. His lineout work and body height need work, but compare his performance everywhere else to that of Simmons when Simmons first made the team and he doesn't seem so bad suddenly.
Australia stuck with Simmons through some pretty dodgy rugby, if he was in NZ or SA I reckon he would have copped the "not upto it" tag and been discarded much earlier. But he's coming good now and crucially our only dominant lineout forward.
