do you not get sick of talking utter garbage?Billy Walker wrote:If Jack proves not to be the answer in the halves then the answer is to move him on and pay some freight. He’s on big halves money and that is way overs his value in the back row or elsewhere in the backline. If he was on less then sure try him anywhere you want but the coin he is on is halves or bust.Botman wrote: ↑August 8, 2021, 9:17 pm So you want to shell out a ton of money to get a guy you think sucks to be a worse version of what we have now, and make Wighton a backrower who... could be good, bad or indifferent? But is paid like the best backrower in the world from day dot?
Thats a big time heavy **** pass from me, friend
As for ball playing backrowers, i mean if you're talking lock forwards... sure. But they're middle players. Edges? I dont know about that. The best edge forwards in the world are not Elliot Whitehead level ball players. They're guys like Crighton, Kikau, Fafita... ball runners who can offload in traffic. They dont ball play at or before the line. Wighton doesnt do that either but he isn't particularly good as offloading in traffic either. I could see Wighton transitioning to a #13 role in today's game long term, but that's more a Victor Radley role more than an edge.
