This backrow for us is a disgrace. They are there on reputation and name only. What is Mason doing in the side? I didn't see him do ANYTHING useful on the weekend, except rile up the opposition who seemed to play better as a result of it. Those two indiscretions only served to give away penalties. I didn't see any barnstorming runs or stinging tackles. Mason can only concentrate for 10 minutes at a time, then he does nothing for 20 minutes. Hindmarsh is a tackling machine, but gives us NOTHING in attack. He's been Smith-ified. He's too slow with the ball and doesn't offload. And O'Donnell simply doesn't have the skills to play as a lock in the Test Arena. He was useless on Saturday. Locks are meant to be ball-players who can offload. He can't. I'd much rather see Hoffmann of Gallen given a chance. If there are no changes to the backrow for the next game I will personally write a letter to the Selectors in disgust.
