[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 1118268, member: 77204"] It’s one of the most pressured positions and ideally you want to be bringing a young FH into an established mid field which he wasn’t, he is also playing behind a pack which at times has been fairly poor, the fact that even you have seen glimpses of brilliance (be it not as consistently as we would like) shows there is potential its hardly like we have a big queue of quality proven FHs in the waiting, FTR I don’t have any objections to Smith and Farrell sharing the shirt at different points in the game and what’s required and against different opposition, I do however have an objection to a Smith Faz combo it’s proven not to work, GF Faz combo has worked to some extent in the past due to their familiarity playing together over the years but even then for chunks of that the pack was performing well, Watson and May were on fire which probably makes it more difficult to determine actual strengths. I agree and was perhaps being a little hasty I just want to see him transfer some club form, I did caveat it with (unless he can bring his club form), I guess this is a situation where there isn’t exactly an English 8 head and shoulders above others who you’d favour over him either currently.
