[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 552298, member: 48703"] This is silly. I could say somebody breaks the line and creates try assists often, but then if I bother finding a clip as an example then it is just an isolated clip. Perhaps I shouldn't bother finding clips and just blag about what a player can do, instead of finding evidence of it. Rubbish. I am not biased and that is a lazy comment. In fact if you read my posts I criticise many Ospreys players. I've never defended Rhys Webb for Wales just because he plays for Ospreys, or claimed Tom Smith is a useful player as people built them up to be. Nor I am I claiming Cai Griffiths is the answer to Wales' tighthead depth problems. Fact is, I have seen Fussell a lot this season. He has his faults, and can take wrong options, but your criticisms are off the mark about running away from support. One game is not regularly. He can't be blamed for bonus point either, especially considering it was his break that created the field position for the third try. Beck's failed miracle ball and Dan Baker's poor control and Nipper's pass were worse. Also having no proper wingers as support runners doesn't help either. You say I just find an isolated clip of an incident. You yourself are just finding one incident. Where else has this happened a lot this season? It hasn't. Also, considering all of Tom James, Chris Czekaj (no rugby brain whatsoever), Morgan Stoddart, Will Harries (can't tackle whatsoever), Liam Williams (overhyped, little attacking threat), Harry Robinson, Tom Prydie (on the back of achieving nothing at regional level) all got caps at international level all despite having flaws in their game. Fussell deserves an opportunity too, even if he isn't perfect, neither are the other options and he is on much better form than Liam Williams. [/QUOTE]
