[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1121571, member: 45598"] All this is why I specifies that he's a good 2nd choice option, and at 28 I think he could be an invaluable squad man for the next 4 years, but Crowley and Prendergast I expect will take the reigns, I still hope his brother can learn to run an attack because his skillset is sublime also. He was always going to shovel **** and a few bad habits broke out when Italy got in his face but without Ringer no one else effectively played in the pivot which is something that always frees up Johnny. A slightly erratic 9, who is also learning St this level, and a subdued 12 made this very difficult, only the world's best 10s would have been flawless today and no one is claiming Ross is anywhere close. Yeah Conan looked off the pace, I think he always does well off the bench though. Coombes and Baird might have jus run out of time, provided Conan keeps his level where it's at, it's tough to see then getting meaningful minutes to break into the 23. But I'd have no issue giving Coombes his shot off the bench in the next two games, a tough call for Farrell to make given the circumstances though. Agreed yeah, Hume's drop off left a hole that was exposed today. [/QUOTE]
