No disrespect at all to the players who played for Cov at lock last season, but only Tom was able to put in a full quality season.
Roan didn't look anything like as good after returning from injury, Danny wants to play in the back row, yes, Scott is not a youngster. Hardly the end of his career, just a continuation of ha move to coaching.
