[QUOTE="Peat, post: 482397, member: 42330"] As noted, he's a cracking distributor. His vision is promising. The problem is he offers very little running threat and hasn't been encouraged to develop one. God knows. We're in a pickle here - I think Barritt's the short term answer, and will do a reasonable job, but I don't think he's ever going to be outstanding and I can't point at any up and coming young 12 and say "This guy clearly has all the tools needed" as Farrell's not a runner, Twelvetrees seems to lack the consistency, Turner-Hall isn't strong enough to be what we want him to be. I'd like Allen to have a go, but think he'd be no more a long term answer than Barritt. Tuilagi could possibly move one in,but I'm not sure he'd be as devestating, think he'd need to work on his distribution, and while we've more potential at 13 none of its quite there yet imo. [/QUOTE]
