Robinson is one of the best English 7's, and imo it wouldn't be too bad if we were able to bring him in, freeing up a bit of cap space with Orfords money and then get Pryce or another 6 in.

Or at least he is if you ignore Eastmond, Tomkins, Myler, Burrow, Long & McGuire

And Deacs of course

Tomkins is a 6, as is McGuire, and he's better than Myler & Burrow.

That puts Long and Eastmond ahead of him, and Long is knocking on.

Is anybody else thinking that we should have kept Deacs though??

Disagree.

Tomkins & McGuire, although yes they are primarily stand offs, are just as good at 7 too (better in McGuire's case IMO). Burrow is better than Robinson. Myler I'd say the jury's probably still out on.

Personally I think Robinson is massively over-rated, but he would improve the squad if Ox is on his way, no doubt.

I'll have to disagree with you about Burrow.

None of them are available, but if they were (I'm not saying i wouldn't love them in our team) Tomkins 7 McGuire aren't the organisers we need. I'd take Eastmond in a heartbeat though!

Maybe I should have said, Robinson is one of the best english organising scrum halfs.

When you look at how the Crusaders are playing .....

I wonder if Potter is also looking at options from the dark side? Schifcofske's certainly a success story.

Schifcofske had a good career in the NRL before moving to union, he was hardly unknown.

I never said an unknown from Union, just any options.

There's a quality centre at Bath

Yes, me. It would have been the funniest SL yet.

I still hold the view that we should have kept Deacon another year, for his kicking ability alone.
