| Quote: Big Dave T "Based on Whitings ability and his attributes. I think with Whiting in that middle channel as a ball player we would look smarter in attack and defence. I agree about Washy by the way and have been one of his biggest advocates, just think Whiting has the edge currently.'" I just think that trying something new as opposed to something that has been proven to work in the past is a bit too much.
Don't matter anyway, we know that if Fitz doesn't stay it will go back to being Radford!

not me bud, thought he should have been cover there last season but not now, his move to second row should start as soon as the season finishes (training wise)

I think there are times/games when a 3rd prop is the better option, but in the main I would much prefer to see the likes of Whiting or Washy there, even if it is just to break the predictability of our game play.

Hasnt that been the case for 2 years now but then we get an injury crisis in the backs?

All players who could pop up in the right place or create something out of nothing
Our 13 is a channelled centre player though, well Fitzy does stray a bit more than Radders but you get my drift.

That was back in the day of the 5 yard rule , the 10 metre ruling has changed the game dramatically.
The day of the LF with guile has gone somewhat.
There seems to be a move by some clubs to get as many battering style forward players on the pitch as possible now.

I don't think he's had the right pre season to be moved into the pack, I'd like to see him bulk up a little.

| I would like to see Whiting given a run there.
However I would have him at centre in front of Turner and Hall if we keep the same side as next year.

| what really hacks me off is that we look alot more dangerous in attack when we have Washbrook at 13...and i doubt that would change if Whiting played there instead sometimes
IMO there should only be washbrook or whiting selected for 13. it's just a shame Agar wants a more boring brand of RL
besides, if whiting or washy played at 13 regularly then they would improve their game hell of alot over a season - we have only been allowed glimpses of the potential

| I would buy, because Whiting is not a 13 (possibly the best utility player in SL) and Washy is simply not good enough...
I favour the extra forward, however only if we have 2 good pivots, the problem is we do not have 2 good pivot men.

I said good ...I only see 1 there who plays regular rugby and he is full-back...Granted Long is good when he plays, Horney is finished imo, a couple of good games upto now is not good enough at this level.
However if you believe we had 3 who are good enough and play regular rugby Agar is right to play 13 as an extra forward, unless you want a team full of pivots

Washy was discussed as a future GB 13 when he last had a full season there for FC.

| Quote: berrigans bitch "I said good
i agree with that in the sense that if the pivots are working (and not out injured) then we have the ability to win games. however with a slightly injury-prone half-back combo then it is frustrating to think we could do better with Washy/Whiting at 13 to add a bit extra in attack
having said that, it's not good to change the dynamic of the team each week to compensate for injuries
i would be in favour of playing washy/whiting at 13 for 2011 and it also saves money and a quota spot
