[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1006273, member: 73664"] I think one of the things to remember when you listen to Eddie talk about what he is looking for is he wants a team that can win the arm wrestle and the team that can spring into action and unlock play and he refers to to Umaga and Robson lines off back of line out/maul. When you think he realistically has Ford/Farrell in the same sort of mould and level of control over the game. Now in no way am I saying that Umaga is better than Simmonds, Simmonds has more control and dictating ability over the game and there is a reason he's the youngest double winning skipper ever. However, he is in a very similar mould to ford and 100% farrell, therefore i reckon Umaga offers Jones's a different type of attacking, level of unknown entity plus he also plays fullback for wasps when needed. Sam Simmonds is a difficult call but suppose the only thing against him is that Earl, Hill, Willis, Ludlham have played multiple positions and Sam only ever plays 8 at exeter, thats about as much as i can think. Spencer... no idea.... Heinz... really..... Ribbans is a slightly odd one... there are a fair few young options who you can have in as squad player to learn and be around the squad but is what it is.. [/QUOTE]
