[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 1092764, member: 77204"] I can’t disagree on the coaching side but to say anything but Farrell being great is pretty much letting your dislike for the guy and possibly Saracens cloud your judgement, England probably having better options doesn’t diminish him as a great player, as has been pointed out the coaches all highly rate him as do his peers (Lions included) and his record of achievements speak for itself, but no one single guy will not fix everything but could help settle the back line with his experience, England currently don’t have a better 12 proven at international, although certainly a few promising prospects, he didn’t have his best game yesterday but certainly looks much better recently than he did when his form dropped off the planet. The unfortunate reality is that Jones going is probably unaffordable, Smith is too inexperienced to be without an experienced 12, add to that fairly inexperienced (internationally 9) assuming Youngs doesn’t tour and Care is the secondary, without a doubt many of these issues are of Jones own creations we just are where we are and we could do a lot worse than try and bring Farrell back as glue in some part.
