[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1072586, member: 72977"] best is obviously not a measure of how good a performance is. Your best can still be shite. I seem to remember Daly being a liability at wing, out of position very often defensively, poor when competing in the air to the point he got red carded. I don't see what he brings in attack that a specialist winger doesn't as well. Simple fact is he has always been a centre and was emergency cover in the back 3 at best. Problem was Jones's obsession with having playmakers across the backfield and trying to make every player capable of playing everywhere. For me that experiment has failed miserably. Instead he should be focusing on picking players in position with a focus on identifying players who are specialists in their positions and bring something extra. Not trying to force players into positions they aren't suited for just because he wants them to play. I said when Tuilagi was put on the wing that Jones keeps acting like a 12 year old on Fifa trying to put his favourite players into one team. This has been the problem for the last few years, we haven't had any consistency because we keep playing players out of position and eventually they are exposed and Jones is forced to change them when he could have picked a specialist player there in the first place and got them experience.
