Quote ="Cherry.Pie"The problem with that is it means all the attacking moves the team has worked on in the past year and a half would be ineffective because Richards offers very little attacking threat from fullback.
It also means we have no target for cross field kicks on the left unless Charnley played there. That would mean Goulding and Gelling on the right and that's just making more issues than it's solving.
I think only Tomkins or Russell will be effective at fullback. Richards would be a step backwards.'"
I see your point but I would argue Tomkins is offering little in defence, Richards would offer a straight return without the constant passing and I'd say Richards isn't offering much attack at the minute? Haven't seen this Russell guy.
After Sunday i'd like to see changes sooner rather than later!
