[QUOTE="Draggs, post: 545650, member: 42052"] It's because Fussell was, for lack of a better phrase, a ****ing disaster for much of his first two seasons at FB. Players can't change, we all know this. I'd rather have Fuss with the occasional howler than Liam Williams risking a card every time he gets involved. West is best. Fussell is like Morgan Stoddart. I feel a mixture of anxiety and excitement when he is in action. My take: FORWARDS: Scott Andrews (Blues): Impressed me in his last few caps, necessity due to tighthead injuries Craig Mitchell (Exeter Chiefs): Good to see him return, not forgotten! Adam Jones (Ospreys): Say no more Paul James (Bath): Must be first choice, right? Gethin Jenkins (Toulon): How much has he played lately? Drop a few pounds and we will see Ryan Bevington (Ospreys): Ever-improving, could see a match or two Richard Hibbard (Ospreys): First choice pending injury, surely Ken Owens (Scarlets): First choice Scarlets hooker, form has been patchy Matthew Rees (Scarlets): If we don't care about lineouts... Ryan Jones (Ospreys): A big loss, will be missed Lou Reed (Blues): Hardly inspiring Ian Evans (Ospreys): Our great hope of a somewhat respectable lineout, please be fit. Anybody have a knee they aren't using? James King (Ospreys): Great prospect, hope he takes his chance Andrew Coombs (Dragons): 2013s Tom Prydie. Surprising considering the amount of times I say [I]Bloody Andrew Coombs[/I] a match Josh Turnbull (Scarlets): Oh god. Josh Navidi (Blues): Good season so far, would rather him stay with the Blues and get more time Aaron Shingler (Scarlets): Needed for a lineout and some carrying Justin Tipuric (Ospreys): Is he McCaw or Holah? Sam Warburton (Scarlets): Poaching arsecelts. Toby Faletau (Dragons): Ever maturing, our only real 8 Andries Pretorius (Blues): Does he merit the callup? BACKS: Tavis Knoyle (Scarlets): The 'best' Turk scrum half. At least it isn't Webb. Mike Phillips (Bayonne): Love him or hate him, Mike is still our best SH Lloyd Williams (Blues): Over, say, Jonathan Evans? Actually, I am glad, saves us from using Wayne... Dan Biggar (Ospreys): A composed and cool standoff, will he get his chance? James Hook (Perpignan): Will be lucky to come off the bench more than once Jonathan Davies (Scarlets): Draw the fullback [I]and[/I] pass Jamie Roberts (Blues): Draw the fullback [I]and[/I] pass Scott Williams (Scarlets): Pass Alex Cuthbert (Blues): Deemed a flat track bully, he is the one of the few Welsh backs crossing the line with some regularity George North (Scarlets): Can we use him properly? Eli Walker (Ospreys): Outstanding prospect, but he could do with more time for the Os Leigh Halfpenny (Blues): Legendary Liam Williams (Scarlets): Read the start of this post Lee Byrne (Clermont): In good form, another few caps for Lee?
