Quote: Rogues Gallery "I really hope he does well and it would make Powells decisions very interesting when Roberts is fit again, particularly in view of his new three year deal. What I have never understood is Ryans insistence on playing #6, he is cutting his options of first team rugby by 50%. Had he stayed at Wigan I have no doubt that he would have played at least four games this season (including reserves) whereas at Cas he hasn't had a game at all.
I've said it many times before but the majority of todays fullback started off in the halves, what would have happened if they had insisted on staying there?
Back to Hampshire, I hope he plays well and that would also give Wane food for thought.'"
Agree with all this, but it bugs me a little when kids try to stipulate where they must play.
In the modern age of big bodies and hyper-fitness, it always strikes me that kids are lucky to get any first team action, let alone action in their preferred shirt.
