[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1096976, member: 73144"] Ah, convinced there’s more to it than just form or balance. Wondering whether there was a disciplinary issue or something like that. Just speculating, but something doesn’t stack up. If there’s something Marchant wants kept private that has to be respected, but it’s odd for Jones to keep schtum. Ref go forward, bludgeon’s fine as far as it goes. But there’s also clever - smart lines from deep, convincing decoys etc, the kind of thing Australia used to do through necessity when they had crap packs. With the bludgeon, opponents know what’s coming and can organise for it. Clever / unpredictable is much harder to defend - and to execute, but we’ll never unpick decent defences unless we try…..
