Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

They’re not the right shape because they don’t have the engine, power or impact of a PsDT or Ollivon. I had mistaken musings of Frost becoming a PsDT type. Half-joking, but still mistaken ... It is a rare type of player. Poor old Frost seems to have simply dropped of the radar, though, this season.
