To be fair, lateral movement is a slightly bigger problem at 10 than 12. Very slightly.
And To'omua can tackle, unlike Beale's passivity in defence. The kicking has been a bit shit, I'll admit.

They lacked a hard edged player showing them the way forward. The Tahs had JacPot. The Wallabies had Vickerman, Finegan, Poidiven and no one at present. Dwyer has suggested Jones but I don't think he is there yet. Fardy showed glimpses last year but not this year. Horwill is probably closest...

True, but (a) their platform didn't find favour with the electorate and the ALP would be silly not to reconsider and revise their policies and (b) their leadership has changed which changes the polices, just look at the backflip by the Coalition on carbon pricing which they also took to the...
