I think it’s more the small forwards strategy than any bias against York who play in an entirely different way than he would.
York won the comp mainly by picking a giant pack in the last few weeks and winning the battle in the middle - Saints’ individual errors were also key of course.
A Stuart Barrow team couldn’t possibly have done what York did in the last few weeks of the season.
I’m getting a lot of grief for the article in the Facebook group, but I stand by it. I hope I haven’t offended any player, but I’ve consistently made the same arguments for two years. Prop is a specialist position and you can’t keep putting medium-build back-rowers there.
