[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 697174, member: 55446"] Why do people rate Haskell? What does he bring? He might be the best example of "jack of all trades, master of none" I can think of in the England squad. No one really even says this any more. It was probably right two years ago when Sinbad and Olly Morgan were around, Freddie and Twelvetrees in the form of their lives, Sharples on the edge of the England XV and Trinder available for at least a few games a season. Things have been particularly awkward for us so far this season. Between Sinbad retiring right at the start of the season, Cook picking up an injury that'll keep him out for months, Trinder injured in the second game of the season and not seen since, and Laidlaw, Hook, May and Twelvetrees going away for internationals, we've basically had to put out a second-string player in every position 9-15! And now Robson wants out. Lots of strengthening needed in the backline for Glos. Also, Bath's backline is pretty clearly the best around right now. [/QUOTE]
