Tommy is the better defender and broken play runner imo but looking at it from a purely who's the better SH i'd say Dobbo is more of a conventional SH and more like the type of player we need in our team. We have a few creative players but very few organisers. Dobbo at SH would be a good foil for Sam who will hopefully grow more into an attacking 6 who takes on defenders etc.
He just seems to do the basic rights e.g puts you in good field position with his kicks, marshals the team round the park and occasionally comes up with some spectacular plays e.g Hatrick against us and MOTM against Saints recently. A little bit like Burrow I guess who killed us on Friday by making the right decisions at the right times.
We play at our best imo when Tommy is running from DH when Riddell goes off as like I said before his broken field running could be the best in the league.
As harsh as it seems on Mcilorum my ideal team would be
6-Tomkins
7-Dobbo
9-Riddell
14-Tommy
Compare that to the likes of Saints and Leeds and it’s not that far off imo.
