That is not to say I agree with everything she writes; far from it. But on this occasion, surely all she was saying that prior to becoming SO in the first team he used to play SH in the acadmy and youth structures.

Now that is either true or not true. I don't know myself but there is no need to get nasty about it.

Well said its all getting really boring now. Totally clogging the board up.

Gaskell did play mainly at scrum half in the under 20's.

He also played some games at fullback and also stand off.

Lomax was used as hooker, standoff and fullback.

Wheeler played mainly standoff but occasionally scrum half.

How many of those games were they listed at scrum half as opposed to assuming the full spectrum of a scrum half's responsibilities?

Hes a halfback,the modern day halfback can usually play 6 or 7

Not looking good for Monday. I hear Wheeler is still out and Gaskell is injured aswell.

Re: Who playing half back with no wilkin or lomax : Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:01 pm  

Any word on what specific injury Wilkin suffered?

Re: Who playing half back with no wilkin or lomax : Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:02 pm  

Hearing similar. Wello to 7, I believe.

Re: Who playing half back with no wilkin or lomax : Sat Apr 07, 2012 2:43 pm  

We may miss Wilkin in the forwards but not at half back. Put him in a half back like yesterday when we have an injury crisis that we can't plan for during a game but we should never be planning to play him there from the start.
