I just think its putting a lot on a young lads shoulders. He could be eased in but I think he will be going straight off the top board into the deep end. The main reason is he probably is the best in that position despite his lack of experience overall and that was my point really non of the other options are attractive.

I think you might be correct with his general organising which is where we have missed Barrett big time this year, Barrett and Tomkins as a combination could have been lethal. But his organisation skills will probably come in his development. His kicking game is very good IMO and a strong aspect of his game that will continue to develop, he's kicked a couple of 40/20's this year and his short kicking into the in goal is superb, we've pampered a few teams this year with them such as yourselves. Had we another organising 7 we may have been abit more clinical which is were we have fallen slightly, I think he's got more than just being a runner. He's also pretty good defensivly to and isn't scared of taking a big hit like some other younger players who go into hiding, he gets straight back up and doesn't make a fuss, he just wants to play.
