Henry and Co have created a group of players that can play in 2/3 positions but they are not great in one position. The ABs used to have great players in almost every position now we have 2/3 average players in every position! Its time to select specialist players and play them in position for many games!! kcuf Henry is stupid over and out

Lote can only play wing, that is why Deans has brushed him. Gits, O'Connor, Mitchell can all cover multiple spots. Even Mumm switches from second row to backrow. It think in the not too distant future front rowers will be the only specialised positions on the field.

Loose cheating Richie and your one and only 1st 5 in Carter, and the team falls apart. Good god the depth is only a puddle. :laughing:

Sorry 30 this year. No not too old for a prop but surely you can scrap up an up and comer out of that wealth of talent you have over there. :agree:

(I think its great the young talent aussie has) but dont kid urself that NZ has none. Its just that Henry and Co havent picked it yet and prob wont since they are morons

Club rugby has done it for years with success and it even comes to the tight 3, they have to learn to interchange. So many loose head props won't play tight, soon they will need to cover both roles!
