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 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.

we play with 3 and have 3.

1. Tansey
6. Horne
7. Long

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.

i remember - he had a very good season but had a few niggles to address which would no doubt be rectified with game time and a little more experience but IMO he still has that potential

I hope we can keep Fitz next year tbh.....

A lot depends on who we sign for me, it is paramount that we get settled h/backs, I would be tempted to move Tansey there and move Whiting to full-back..
I favour an extra forward at 13 so if Fitz did go I would buy, I am not impressed with Washy if I am honest

Thinking out of the box here a bit but does anyone think Turner could make a good 13?

A possibility, however he didn't do any-thing special in the h/back roles, however he is settling nicely at centre, good tackler and strong offence...maybe in time with more experience.
