The pack this year may have underperformed bur in several games they provided a platform and Williams failed to deliver.
Lomax is delivering consistently alongside an averagr HB partner and with a beat up pack.
French isn't even a half back and is playing superbly alongside an average HB partner with a workmanlike Wigan pack.
Our culture of not holding marquee playera up to the scrutiny their wages dictate they should be placed under is part of the problem.
I think you might be underplaying the strength of Saints (beat up??) & Wigan (workmanlike) packs & overplaying the consistency of both their half backs. But agree our top players should always be up to scrutiny.
