Disagree with the comments above, Cunningham certainly isn't a 7 but he was our best hooker.
Fozard is a good player and will do a good job for us, but we're lacking beyond that. Pelissier is someone I have never rated at all - he kills momentum and allows defenders to close down the space in front of us with that horrible couple of steps he insists on taking before passing the ball. Likewise, with that step one way followed by turning back on himself and passing in the other direction. It means the first receiver has less time when he finally gets the ball in his hands. He's never shown any sign of improvement, but gets a free pass because once a game he makes a decent scoot and picks up a few metres.

I'd have kept Cunningham for the Championship, but he was poor in SL last season.
