Should Amos play full back on Sunday?

Post by EJC »

Amos played a full game for the reserves. Did anybody think that he is fit enough to play full back on Sunday? Despite Sam's brilliant form at full back I still think that our best team is with sam at 6 and Amos at 1. Any comments?

If he was at his best that would be my option but I do not think it will happen.

I'd put pat at #1 and karl pryce alongside Carmont. I worry for Deacon in the middle and also defensively against the likes of... erm... whoever isnt injured/banned.

If fit Roberts may come to the fold

Karl Pryce? I wouldn't let him lace the players boots, he'd be too slow for them to be ready for kick off.

Leave Sam at 1, that's the number he'll be wearing next season.

Surely a 50% Roberts is worth a 110% Pryce?

If we're seriously considering keeping Pryce then we would have been better off keeping Feka and playing him on the wing. There probably isn't a lot of difference in pace or speed of turn and at least we know that Feka is bothered and can break a tackle!

I would not select Pryce before even young players like Charnley and Marsh.

Roberts looked good in the reserves game, admittedly against a poor side. I'd play him at fullback on Sunday.

Good didn't really notice him at the Rover's game but when I watched it on DVD he seemed pretty good. Just hope he's getting his confidence back because he can be a liability without it.
