Quote ="HamsterChops"No doubt. But that doesn't stop me having my own thoughts from what I see. I'm not going to be a sheep who has an opinion just because it's our coach's opinion. It's like those people who say someone played well based on radio commentary, when really they're just repeating the commentator's opinion and not forming their own.
I would counter what you say though and say the fact Kear signed Flanagan despite having Hallas, Halafihi & Butterworth already, suggests he isn't as confident in Vila as you suggest he is. As well as him not including him in the 19 for this week.'"
All 3 of those players are relatively inexperienced, despite their strengths at different parts of the game. I sometimes think Halafihi's utility value counts against him. Flanagan is older, more experienced and obviously JK wants an experienced head in such a crucial position.
