I think the fact that Colbon played on the right yesterday (and looked far more assured there) is a definite sign that Fox will play on the left if and when he sorts himself out.
Totally agree about this point but perhaps when you're that close to it all, then sometimes the most logical things can be overlooked.
I think what yesterday showed for me is that our back 5 have been the main problem so far this season rather than the forwards or half-backs and an 89% completion rate is proof in the pudding that I think apart from Fox being out of form, everyone in the back 5 were playing in positions they were comfortable in and the rest of the team was more assured as a result.
Also with decent kick returns it shows we have some strength in depth in our forwards when you consider we have Newton & Wheeldon out of the team and Murrell playing in the halves at the moment.
