While Scrutons in when I've seen him against decent opposition might be big but I think soft

Clearly you never watched Anakin as a junior, because anyone who did will tell you that he had a decent passing game and was not the battering ram people want him to be - so right back at you icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

There I don't agree with you vasty saw Chris a lot as a junior, would have made a number 9 if he could have passed the ball he never could unfortunately

Quote: vastman "Odd one this. You’d expect that Kirmond an ex-winger and wide running S/R would be very comfortable in the centres. Now I didn’t see his one effort in that position but I’m told it wasn’t great - that said perhaps he needs a few goes to get it right as he is fairly adaptable.

One from left field, could Anakin play at Centre? I’m aware he never has but if he’s adaptable and embraces it he’s not slow and he could punch holes on the flanks - also a good tackler - just a thought and probably not a good one.

Johnstone will be a centre eventually IMO but he’s to easily knocked about at the moment.'"


Vasty you've got to be on the wind up there with Annakin. Has Belly stolen your password?

Personally I think if Johnstone changes his preferred position, I think it will be to full back.

Right back at me?! Haha. How old are you?!

Oh I watched Chris Annakin alright, many times as a junior. And all seeing one, I align myself to your infinite knowlege that he's nothing like the same style of player we both watched back then. That said, and correct me if I'm wrong won't you, but I struggle to remember him throwing a pass since then. But if that's what we're looking for from our centres, I'm all for it...

So, how do I say it? Right back at you?...

I'm older than pair of you, and if you say anakin had a passing game as a junior I'm saying neither of you saw much of him

OK I'll deal with you first. All things are relative and I was clearly being a bit experimental - as I'm about to point out to popstart I thought I'd made that obvious.

I'm not for one second suggesting Anakin can slip a ball out like Gene Miles - however when you compare him to Lyne or Arundel it doesn't look quite so daft. It's just a suggestion that's all.

Do you recall Roger Kenworthy? Came to us as an out and out winger, not a position renowned for players with a passing game. Kelly put him at scrum half and IMHO was one of the best we have had.

You never know til you try - obviously in a friendly not a real game. That's assuming Anakin was even up for it.

It's called thinking outside the box as they say. I thought I'd made that abundantly clear, would you like me to bold it in future?

Considering your endless attempts to defend Webster, Sammut, Kirke and other crimes against RL last season I would knock anyone else's ideas if I were you eusa_whistle.gif

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_5733.jpeg



Annakin to centre would be a car crash. Bags of effort and heart and cracking in the middle of the field but the thought of him defending in the centre, against simply isn't realistic.

I think Smith sees a lot in Lynn. I would not be shocked to see him run out as starting centre next year despite his indifferent form in 2015.

Arona sounds like a good signing and may be one for the loose forward position with his footwork, mobility and passing game according to what's being said about him. At 5ft 10 and 16 stone 10 he sounds as though he's a wrecking ball shape.

Hope it works out and looking forward to see him play.

Thanks for your input icon_rolleyes.gif

Funny thing is you could well be right about Anakin but I think you are miles off on Lyne and I personally don;t think he sees anything in Lyn but I can't claim to be wired into the mainframe on that one. eusa_think.gif

Quote: vastman "Thanks for your input Completely agree with this. Imo BS was trying to big him up as he is obviously a confidence player, but i dont think he thinks hes up for job and neither do many on here. Arundel, gibson hall and tupou all infront of him, for me
