Quote: Jukesays "Well, apart from there being lots of inaccuracies in this post relating to what I did or didn't say and then being called pedantic for actually pointing out that I hadn't said the things you said I had, there's not much else to say I suppose.
I'd just rather be criticised for something I did actually say rather than what I hadn't
Numerous times I've pointed out that Budgie's best position is Wing - I personally believe that will be the case for most if not all of his career in the main.
Whether someone else or the coaches see it that way only time will tell & to be honest IMO it's not really a debate for now that interests me.
Manfredi is out of anyone's plans for now - So that makes it 2 centres & 3 wingers in the 1st team - We use Budgie primarily as a Centre and we have the same problem but only with 2 wingers only. So I don't see that as solving a problem (Touch wood if Manfredi comes back at some point that may beg the question - for now, for me, it's neither either nor there).
Although I again didn't say that you said it was a bad or a good thing - I just said that I don't think having 3 x primarily wingers on the books (With 2 not being on top dollar) is excessive.
Currently he's one of our best 2 wingers (Davies being my option on the right)
Currently if Sarge/Gildart are fit they play centre for me & Marshall misses out on the Wing.
Sarge not fit I'd play Bateman
Gildart not fit I'd possibly look at Joe and bring Marshall in on wing (Assuming both wingers are fit). If one of the wingers not fit I'd be tempted to leave Budgie on Wing and look for other centre options.
Let me know if this is ok?'"
Unfortunately all points relating to Budgie moving to centre NOW. I have never advocated this. As I said previously, quite the reverse in fact. I also would rather discuss what I actually said so I guess the discussion is over.
Just for clarity though (and feel free to PM me rather than clog this thread up any further) would you mind letting me know where I have quoted you as saying something you haven't? I've just reread the posts and I can't see a single example .
