Quote: Listenup94 "Who’d be a coach , some brave decisions there leaving out walmsey and jouffret, I can see the logic in leaving walmsey out as saltonstall McComb makes yards driving it out from our half and having arundal and barber in the centres gives us size and they’re both defensively sound , London got no change attacking our back line , Aston also looks defensively sound certainly better than Harris in that department.
The jouffret one is the one I struggle with tbh , Martin had a solid game yesterday and made zero errors and looks a safe pair of hands but I think jouffret adds a bit more coming into the line plus can play multiple positions if necessary. The Mrs ‘ being more of a people watcher than me (nosey cow ) commented after the game that jouffret had a face like a slapped booty and didn’t celebrate when we scored as the others did , you can take it with a pinch of salt but I’d hate to have the repeat of the springer debacle like last year , it’s a real test of grixs’ man management this year , interesting few weeks ahead .'"
For the first time in years we've got 3 quality halfbacks so there's always going to be 1 disgruntled one. I thought Aston had an excellent game yesterday and complements Keyes really well. While I know there's a desire to find a place for a player as good as Jouffret, Martin is really solid at the back and may well grow into the attacking side as he gets more confidence. Jouffret may get a chance as back up hooker next week if Wood is injured - pleased to see Brandon Moore back to more like his old self in his second spell.
