I know it sounds weird having Isa at 5, but would have had a number of advantages, including:
*Escaré can catch
*Gilly on his proper side
Are you honestly suggesting play Isa on the wing or is it a joke?

If it is the former, do you even watch/understand Rugby?

I do agree with Morley on one of his points, Escar'e needs to be in the squad. Use him like Leeds used Burrows, bring him on for the last 20 minuets of each half to open the opposition up. Or let him take over the position of hooker and get rid of Donkey Powell.

What skills has Morgan got that will make him a good no 9? Is this a case of he should be in the team at all costs?

Be much better with Flower on the wing and Clubb at full back :lol:

Our problem as I have pointed out before is we cannot decide where to play Leuluai and Powell. Neither are creative enough to be specific scrum halves. Sammut at scrum half it is then, because that was the way someone at the club thought it was the way to go.

TL however cannot play 80 minutes at hooker but Powell can.

What is the point of having an 80 minute hooker if we persist in subbing him for someone who main attribute is running from dummy half - something we as a team do not do. Either stick with Powell for 80 unspectacular but workmanlike minutes OR place Leuluai at hooker and have someone else who can go into that role when he needs the break.

Garbage tactics to interchange Powell and TL and then for fans to complain because all we can do is shovel bloody Isa into the backline as the rest of the bench is used to rotate the forwards.

Message for Lam - STOP ASSUMING ISA CAN PLAY IN THE BACKS - HE CANNOT (despite his willingness)

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:
