On what basis is Barrow our best second row? He's a penalty machine with poor hands and slack defensive discipline.
I'm tempted with Thompstone as Malouf has made costly defensive errors in each game so far. Is he really fit though? I'd heard he was still a way from fitness.

Well for instance he gave away 5 penalties v Exeter link here, go to player stats then discipline if it doesn't open on right bitBath Saints Glous Quins Exeter Irish Barrow 2 0 X 0 5 0 Other Lock 0 1 1 1 2 0
So 7 across 5 games v 5 across 7 games for the other locks. Not only that but (now this is pure opinion and presented as such) when he gives them away they come in bunches and are often for silly things rather than either reasonable gambles or actually worthwhile cynical penalties.
