| Quote: Phuzzy "But he doesn't have a running game Jon. You said so.
You also said Thurston's try strike rate is the same as Deacon's though which is also garbage.
The problem is you keep doubling down on your ramblings.
I never said he wasn't a half. I said he was a half with a running game. I also mentioned 2 other halves (Deacon and Leuluai) who also played successfully together and indeed won a title so I clearly know the difference. I never said we wouldn't have to alter the way we play.
The problem with you, Jon, is you can't (or won't) read what is actually written and instead go off on some disingenuous tangent. You ignore anything that doesn't support your argument. For example comparing Thurston's try scoring ratio to Deacon's (it's better) rather than John's (similar) or Luai's (Thurston's is better). I wonder why?
To reiterate
Nothing at all.
What I am saying is that both Smith and Farrimond are natural halves and I don’t think they make the best combination whilst Field is out injured as both their strengths and skill sets are similar.
If we run with Smith and Farrimond for the next 8 weeks and it works great. I don’t think we will.
It’s a bit like playing a fullback on the wing or vice versa sure they can play there and do a job but do they get the best out of themselves and contribute to the team probably not.
If you want us to totally chsnge the way we play whilst Field is out fair enough I don’t I’m guessing Peet doesn’t either which is why Rocky got first crack at 1 and then as Smiths partner.
Let’s see how the team lines up over the next couple of months to see what Peet decides is best for the team.
I will 100% say if Smith picks up a knock Farrimond is straight in the team in my option over Rocky and anyone else.
It’s that simple.

| I seem to remember Rocky has had a few spells as hooker at Cas - he could take Leeming's place on the bench, and be a similar type of player able to inject a bit of pace at dummy half. Closest like for like swap we have.
Then its a decision on FB and No 6 . Do we keep Eckersley in the team and move him to FB or keep him at Centre , and Adam goes to FB, or keep French at FB and put Farrimond in at 6 - he looks to be able to take a similar running threat and has a short kicking option too close to the line similar to Bevan leaving the organisation to Harry .
I'm favouring putting Farrimond in at 6 as it's the closet like for like with Field and French offering threats at both FB and 6.

I [ido[/i think there's a more than decent player in there somewhere. Just needs more consistency (& maybe game time) as well as showing willing.

There probably is but he is now keeping a youngster out of the team so this should be his last season
