That's the one!

He is the clubs leading try scorer! Also most meters, highest average gain and second in clean breaks.

He's not hit the heights of his last stint, yet, but to drop him would be a strange move imo

They can all be better. Problem is Wingers and F/B's are exposed - everyone see's their mistakes. In my experience Wingers are victims of general poor team play. Forwards who allow to much yardage to be gained thus basically lose the game, the opposition kickers being given way to much time and space, inadequate shielding from Centres etc etc.

Everyone loves a flying winger and so they should - but I don't hold with the modern ethic that they are one of the key players - an extra forward and all that guff. In a good side a winger should do little more than support the man, find space, catch and run very fast and beat the man - which in itself is a lot. If the rest of the team are doing there job the winger should be the glory boys. I absolutely hate seeing the wingers run the ball in sometimes three times in a set, to me that is abject failure.

I'm not absolving them of all responsibility but the yardage figures even taking account of the soft yards suggests Fox does more than enough, way more than Mellors ever will - there are a heck of a lot of players ahead of him to bag IMO.

As usual, fair comment and I cant disagree with your comments, but for me I would like to see a little more commitment from the guy in defence.
If we compare him to Cockayne, you never see Ben give anything less than 100%. Yes, he can make mistakes but you know that he's trying his rocks off for the team but, with Fox on odd occasions he seems to shy away from certain challenges.
BTW, i'm not really tring to bag the player, this started in relation to Mellors and his "prefered" position of winger.

I know your not. Foxy is a great winger but definitely old school and as such will always be happiest burning up the grass - and for me that's how RL should be played. Cockayne is all effort but he is not a natural finisher imho. Offiah couldn't really do anything but score - a lot - a real lot

I think Walshaw would be doing a good job at centre !
