From what I’d seen I thought Fa’amausili’s scrummaging looked pretty good for a guy starting out. I just thought he had a whole lot of work to do on work rate and involvement. His skill base seemed pretty good.
I rate Ready in a similiar manner. Skill set he is better than any of the others IMO, but he is not nearly fit enough and he won’t get a shot unless he gets his work rate up.
BR - the Brumbies have a good couple of young guys coming through. There is a lot to like about Swain, but my first impression is Nick Frost is the one who could really kick on and be a great foil for someone like Hosea. I just suspect this year is a season too early from him. I’ll be really interested as to what they get out of Hooper as well. From the very little I’ve seen he looks a 2-3 year project, but raw materials are there.
