[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 920041, member: 73144"] A full back who can't deal with a high ball is a liability and a vulnerability that even an average team can prey on - they have to bring a hell of a lot else to offset that. Daly may just have had a bad day at the office, so I'm not chucking the baby out with the bathwater just yet, but the ABs are arch pragmatists and his struggles won't have gone unnoticed. It's also one of those positions where I'm keen on an out and specialist and made that point prior to SA, also noting that none of the alternatives were specialists either. While I used to advocate Watson, I've moved away from that. Frankly we could do worse than Goode, especially if we picked 2 fliers on the wings to complement him. V surprised that Jones hasn't had a proper look at Woodward though. Beyond that, who else? Hammersley? But as I said earlier, I expect Brown will be our first choice for the big games in Japan.
