Quote: Red Hot Jalapeno "He is a good player and gives every ounce of effort that he has BUT he is not good enough with the ball in hand to take us to the next level IMO. If we had a world class 6 to partner him then we could get away with him playing 7 but with a young lad like Tomkins at 6 you need a really good 7 next to him which Tommy isnt. I think we need to find a way of playing him at 9 coming off the bench for Riddell and bring in an experienced 7 if possible. A world class halfback last night would of opened Saints defence up with the amount of posession we had on their try line.'"

completely agree - TL should play at 9 because he can cause havoc when the opposition is on the back foot. When we're close to the oppo line he just doesn't seem to have the skills required to unlock tight defences. Besides a prop we are crying out for a creative, marshalling half back
