Quote: Phuzzy "But isn't that due to those respective players skillsets being more clearly defined as NK points out? Williams has never been an effective organizing half and French has always been predominantly a runner. Long's abilities in either camp wasn't stifled by the existence of the other. Neither were many great halves. We could both rhyme off the Thurstons, Johns etc who had both without it impacting on either part of their game.
Now, I'm obviously not putting Farrimond in that company at this stage of his career but it certainly shows the principle.'"
Don’t agree re Thurston he was a great organiser and could pick a pass. His running game not really a strength.
Johns had it all but again played his best when partnered with his brother who was a great foil for him at club level.
