Quote ="Famous Amos"Well TBH I trust Madges jugement and experience alot more than yours so lets leave it to the experts eh? Richards is a better defensive fullback but he doesnt offer much go forward from there believe it or not, he is miles better on the wing, Sam on the other hand has only played a few games at fullback so he's obviously going to make some defensive mistakes, but in attack he is just as good at 6, better even because he can see more of the game and read it even better. ATEOTD like i said we would be better with those two at 5 and 6 and signing and proper fullback if Roberts does leave.'"
I dont know if i trust madge's judgement though, occassionally he has cocked up, and its proven a hell of a mistake, for example playing with 16 men against leeds arguably cost us the challenge cup. Friday playing without feka or bailey was a mistake for me, and also on friday leaving deacon on the bench until the 74th minute? if you are going to have him as a sub, at least use him and give him chance to make a difference not 6 minutes.
Granted amos had taken a knock, but i've rewatched the match. its not that he hasnt the pace to reach the ball, its the fact that he didnt anticipate the high bounce and the fact he didnt anticipate the kick in the first place.
His kick returns are outstanding, however for me his anticipation and positioning are questionable. It almost seems as though he struggles to read the game.
Next year this position, alongside hooker. Could prove to be very problematic for us.
