Every time the ball gets to Shaul our momentum stops,,imagine us having a pivot as a fullback! Coote Barba etc

Can’t see any new coach allowing Shaul to play in the same way he does now.
Interesting to see how it affects contract negotiations going forward also.

I must admit, I’m starting to come around to some people thoughts of playing Connor at 1, once we are near full strength, although I still prefer him at centre. But could be a compromise giving Connor that more pivotal role that he seems to prefer

Keep saying this Evalds should be a priority to try and bring to the club next season

Re: Who do we want now then : Sun Mar 15, 2020 9:03 am  

Evalds is a lot like shaul, but does pass the ball a little more. Wouldnt bring evalds in.

I'm.not saying play Kelly at fb, however he did play a bit of fb in the off season.

But ive said it for a while, we need a pivot play at fb as we play extra forward at 13.

That now being past tense as we don't know what the new guy will want.

I'd like to see from this country, Ward, Watson or Ford given a chance.

It’s our pivots who have been letting us down, particularly Houghton and Shaul in pushing us forward.

I'd like Powell from cas, would get some attractive rugby with him.

Shaul has been letting us down as a pivot, has done for a couple of season tbh.

Houghton IMO is only dangerous with ball in hand when we get quick play of the balls.

As it stands, Last and Purtell in charge, I dont see much changing, could be wrong, but think it will be same old for now.
