Quote: jonh "I agree re Dodd and Lomax which also coincided with Saints decline as both have become halves as Lomax has aged and he has adapted his game and they have lost strike in the front line.
Drinkwater wouldn’t be getting a game were it not for Leon Hayes injury again a player who is an out and out half.
Edwards again adapted as he aged and took on the organiser role after Gregory much like many have done over the years as they lose that yard of pace like Danny McGuire did at Leeds and Shaun Johnson has more recently with New Zealand Warriors to great effect.'"
Again I disagree Jon. You're cherry picking parts of their career to "prove" a point. Burrow and Maguire Co existed successfully for years before Maguire adapted his game. They were both runners. Edwards was always a good organizing half and played that role often well before any decline in pace.
Shall I take it you now concede that your assertion regarding Dodd/Lomax and Drinkwater/Williams being examples of organization half/ running half combinations was a poor one?
