Richard Marshall isn't God and he isn't exempt from making mistakes. In my opinion we were far more effective as an attacking team with Johnstone at half back. I think he would be wasted at full back and with other options there until Miles gets back to full fitness I would start him at seven. Victorian Café Bar, Windermere Pale Ale 3.5 % Mmm!

Just.

At the end of the day they are squad numbers. Gone are the days when a number 7 was the scrum half etc. etc. There may be a nod to positions with the numbering, but nothing more than that.

Very true. What number did Ben Johnston wear all season ? And where did he play ?

True, although it may have just given Miles a boost after a very difficult 8 or 9 months? At the end of the day a fully match fit Miles will be playing at fullback.

I agree. He's the one lad that I reckon (when we're struggling to break down teams) has that little bit of magic to make a break and change a game (when he's played at half back)

"I think it was griff who said that Johno played at fullback quite a lot last year despite being 7 but if my memory serves me correct, that first occurred due to injuries."

Well, aye, but it was just an example of a bloke playing away from the position his squad number indicates, so it was. It wasn't intended to be a tactical assessment, like.

And I agree Griff.
