The reason UK is succeeding right now with those kinds of players is that 1) their competition has been so bad that they can get away with just talent, and 2) the pressure/glory of going 40-0 has them focused in.
Now, if you're going to ask me if I think Self maybe targeted a few of the wrong guys, then yes, I do. It happens. You miss on some guys and some guys aren't what they were purported to be. I think we're getting back on track now, looking at what we have in Mason and Graham, two players who obviously give a shit about winning and putting it all out there.
