Quote: The Avenger "I’d be looking for an old fashioned Loose Forward/Stand Off
Someone in the mould of John Joyner, Paul Cook or Joe Westerman with the physicality to play in the pack but enough of a footballer to move to 6 when needed.'"
I’m not so sure the two are as interchangeable these days in the modern game as they were. I’d much prefer an exclusive half or a 13/prop with size and some hands.
Just because Wrsterman can fill in the odd game at halfback doesn’t make him a good option there.
These days you see more of a full back/half back combination. Field/french/Miller/Hampshire.
At 13 we have Pitts, Cozza, Bain so are reasonably okay there.
So long as the player incoming adds to the starting team and will be of good quality to enhance the team I’m fine with any position.
