[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 687551, member: 12190"] Agree about Haskell - he's hugely powerful, a strong carrier, great at the breakdown and a strong leader - the only hesitation I have is whether he's in full shape again after his illness - apparently he lost 5 kilos in that week/ But yes I would bring him in without hesitation. I would also question whether our hedging out bets with regards to Vunipola and Ben Morgan is healthy - it limits our ability to have a flanker with impact on the bench, for example when we're losing out at the breakdown - bringing on Morgan is never going to be the answer; personally although Vunipola/Morgan is a great dilemna to have, I think we need to be brave and choose 1 not 2. Having a Haskell or Kvesic on the bench might have changed the breakdown contest and changed the dynamic of the game. [USER=71135]@TheSaffycen[/USER] I agree with you about the centres but unfortunately I feel it's more a of a 'jury's out' situation - we didn't have much phase play through the backs which is why there's not much to say about it....Eastmond was great though. Barritt missed an abnormal number of tackles from memory as well? [/QUOTE]
