I think the "Dan seems to be the Priestland for taking all the stick" is hyperbole.
There seems to be two discussions going on... in one people say unfair and unqualified things about players they don't like (Dan, Steff Hughes etc.) ... and in the other, those of us who suggest alternatives to playing these players acknowledge their strengths but then offer clear and fair reasons as to why we would prefer to see different selections. Please don't conflate the two sides! For me, starting players like AoB, Costelow, Asquith, Cassiem, Morgan, particularly on an artificial pitch, over their more pragmatic alternatives, is indicative of the style of play I would like us to work towards. For me, we need AoB or Costelow to be a great back-up to Patchell in the fluid, attacking, running style of rugby I hope we play. Players like Dan will then come into their own during different conditions. But these are my preferences and clearly not the coach's as the moment. But what is a forum for if not to discuss our own thoughts and preferences? I just think we can do that without disrespecting players or coaches.

Yes. Good post that.
I have a completely subjective view that Asquith will be the last taxi off the rank under the current coaches. He was on the bench for the Blues and Drags game and not been seen since. Tyler is perhaps more odd. If we wasn't brought in to be the high pedigree 13 to cover Foxy then I'm lost as to the point of him. Then again, what do I know. Steff Hughes is the epitome of an elite level WQ regional player with a really low error count and solid skill set. He's not going to run through or around players too often, and that's the point that triggers debate on selection. Asquith and Tyler have more about them to excite supporters for sure. |

Exactly.... I'm a risk/reward person rather than risk averse person. Hence my views on selection!

I was thinking during the week how our greatest rugby was played sometimes with Dan at 10 and Patchell 15.
I would like to see that again. The Scarlet way is nothing without an attacking threat from 15. As good as HP is, he doesnt offer that attacking threat from deep. Seriously limiting us.

One of our most exciting games last season was against Bayonne with AoB at OH and Baldwin in the centre. That didn't happen very often.

I thought Leigh carried as much as any of our backs tonight and if you annalyse the yardage he probably made more.
