[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1151168, member: 73144"] Every position has a lot of facets. We should be looking for players to be competent at all and outstanding at some, preferably ‘the basics’. I could’ve coped with Mako being adequate in the scrum when he was also playing 10 and making 15 tackles per game. What I could never cope with was him being downright poor in the scrum or Daly being such a defensive liability at 15. Re Smith at FB - over simplification, but if he sets up 2 scores per game but his defence costs us 1, that’s still a net gain. Who knows how good he really could be - only significant time there with Quins (unlikely) will tell us. It’s a very interesting idea, but being clueless and trying to find out going into RWC knockout games would be madness. [/QUOTE]
