[QUOTE="Mumbles119, post: 907016, member: 68434"] Maybe it is time to take that risk? If it ends up being the most effective solution for the RWC, what is there to lose? In an ideal world I would prefer Shields at 6 too, but the question was how to add speed and go forward at 8. I had to count both Billy and Hughes out because they are both not up to speed, and Simmonds was my immediate next option. But I felt that starting he would give speed but not the heavy duty go forward required from 8. Would rather see him come off the bench for impact. Maybe Shields would bring enough heavy duty threat at 6 to allow for Simmonds at 8? [/QUOTE]
