Oh I'm so sorry for having an opinion about players and how they perform. I happen to think we can do better than Washbrook even with injuries and the players that are sitting out not getting a game (Litten and Adbull I'd have in front of Washy atm), that's my opinion and I gave reasons why.
Yes we won, that's irrelevant in the context of what I said re Washbrook.

LOL easier than saying a third of one second

' a bit faster' - should've used that

anyhow Deano should not be playing hooker as he has far more talent elsewhere

Why not play Jamie at hooker ? his speed from acting half is blistering and he can pass - he surely has the defensive capability as well

Do you mean Jamie Shaul, at hooker, have you gone stark raving mad?
There are so many reasons not to play him there, that includes tackling big blokes who he isn't used to doing and isn't one for getting his hands dirty on the defensive line.
He's fine where he is, yes he's not perfect but FB is his position and he does okay defensively. We put someone in a position to do a workload they're not used to and they will not perform as well as their normal position.
Too often we keep shuffling around when we have injuries, what's the point of a back up hooker if we aren't going to give them a chance even when the player in front is error strewn, slow and can't get to the tackle.

He was stepping into the hookers role when we were coming out of our half v Warrington. That's fine with me putting us on the front foot. That's all I'd want to see from shaul at hooker

That's not how you should describe a Full Back - not for one second

I mentioned on another thread that he is being asked to do darts from dummy half since Houghton’s been out, so is getting clobbered by bigger players. Bound to have an effect on him but only my opinion.

There is a world of difference between taking some scoots out of DH and playing hooker.
