Quote: anarkik "Jeez, at the moment the coaching strategy seems to be 'let's punish Andy Lynch by making him play twice the length of time either Scruton or Hall is required to do', yet in the meantime we all fawn over Scruton because he runs with some energy and gets the odd big hit in. Let's not get too carried away eh? Scruton is progressing well, he's still not Sam Burgess though, and we're busy murdering our best prop who is rapidly becoming ever more covered in strapping. I can't see that strategy lasting all season.'"
Whilst I'm not saying what you say isn't true, some players perform better by being on the pitch all of the time, the so called 80 minute prop and others need spelling. Lynch is definitely a go to player who can do the 80. I suspect the player probably agrees with the strategy too.
If you don't play Lynch as much what are the options, I think most of these would result in a reduction of metres
I think both Lynch and Scruton have been excellent and Hall is coming on too!
