Quote leedsmetbull1="leedsmetbull1"Maybe against Wales yeah, but the majority of the season has been playing as second receiver, yes Tomkins was the better player on the day but that was Mylers first game in a while and i stand by in what i said of id would rather have a "specialist SH and a SO rather than a SO playing at SH". i have nothing wrong with Tomkins at all, hopfully this will make competion for places that much better, personally i would have liked to start with Eastmond at SH'"
Again there's nothing wrong with your assertions on the face of it except that:
1) Being Myler's first game in a while is a Red Herring. He has been gash since his return from injury, to the extent he was dropped by his club side, who didn't even make the playoffs! In addition Ratchford was the better half back for them throughout the whole season.
2) Brian Noble also played split halves so no, he didn't play 2nd reciever. In fact you could argure that he is more accustomed to playing in Tony Smith's preferred system than Myler who's deficiencies in playing this system where there for all to see in his last outing. If you require further proof of this; Tim Smith, a natural Scrum Half by your definition, was the one playing 6 whenever Sam wasn't and when ever Leuleui went to hooker, Sam moved to Scrum half.
