But there are not many young guns in the forwards are there outside of the couple who we know are class? Ashworth, Batchelor and Smith (to a lesser extent) should have shown much more to give us confidence they will help the club win trophies - they are not exactly 18 year olds.
Much of the pack is ageing: LMS, Roby, Peyroux, Taia, Amor. We could do with a young reserve coming through this year because I think Ashworth is a pudding.
