[QUOTE="Peat, post: 471193, member: 42330"] I have never seen of or heard of Cave playing anywhere other than 13. I don't think his game would be particularly suited to 12 either. He wouldn't have the space to stand people up in or be able to run the lines getting on outside shoulders either. The 12 conundrum is far harder to solve in my eyes. D'Arcy and Mincer are busted flushes internationally, but worthwhile enough at club level they won't be shifted easily. I don't particularly rate McFadden as a 12, who is the obvious choice insofar as being young, internationally experienced and capable of the position. I'd love to be trumpeting Marshall's virtues right now but he broke his face and ergo hasn't really played. But I do consider it a more exposed channel in terms of defending - to my mind, its easier for a smaller man to defend 13, than 12 where you know the steam trains are coming. [/QUOTE]
