[QUOTE="Duck a l'Orange, post: 792462, member: 72315"] I was holding it up as a joke- a scenario that might happen under Jones. Seriously though, it's not that bad- better than the current one- with a few conditions. 1) That Nowell makes a successful transition to fullback. Long term I see him here, slight lack of pace won't bother him at 15 (Brown, Goode, etc- not that it's ideal), he's defensively very solid, good under the high ball- not as great in the air but that's less important for a fullback- and offers more in attack than Brown. 2) That Jones and Gustard can incorporate Ashton into the team in such a way that his defence isn't shown up (much trickier than with Ford for example- missed tackles on the wing = clean breaks and tries, rather than lost metres closer in) and have can translate his Sarries form. He was a deadly finisher for a long time, if he can get back to that then I'd be happy to have him in the team. [/QUOTE]
