Some idiot on the rumour thread been bigging wello up as our stand off for next year as he's got a great rugby brain
I'm glad to accept the label of idiot (it's part of our common humanity to be idiots, after all), but I don't accept the reason for the diagnosis in this instance. I did not, do not and will not big up Wellens as a stand off. I just misinterpreted St Pete's statement about Wellens not having a rugby brain and sought clarification. I've learned to respect St Pete's judgements on players and was startled by his (apparent) judgement on Wellens, for whom I have great admiration as a full back and as a man committed to play the best rugby he can for Saints. But I misinterpreted St Pete's post, as he evidently misinterpreted mine.
