In reply to: Steve@Mose 's message, "What Simon Hunt said" on "Sun, Mar 20 2011, 16:45:12 GMT"

He has said what I have posted on here several times. We defend too narrowly and the opposition often can go outside because there is room to do so. It is so obvious why has Maggs(who is the backs coach) not fixed it? All he does is make 2 or 3 changes to the backs every game and doubtless is thinking of his latest changes for Friday!
To fix the problem does require the forwards to defend around the fringes and then the backs can go wider. It is not rocket science.
I agree too many changes all season result in little understanding being built up between players.
Also agree there is no harm in giving a go at 10 to Ollie as he is probably the most attack minded player we have. he cannot be worse than Davies who must be the biggest disappointment of the season. He can't kick for territory, hardly ever makes a break and his decision making is poor.
It is said Ollie is poor in defence which has some element of truth but in other teams the number 10 is not there for his defence and when defending a scrum or lineout the 10 moves to 13 and 12 or a flanker(lineout) stands at 10. Irish do it all the time with Lamb and in our league Donny do it with Roberts as do Esher with their 10.
We need to score tries in our remaining games and so we must play our most attacking team.Ollie at 10 and another winger (Styles) to support carter, Armitage, Reay and Bress would be my choice. I have to say Reay has done pretty well this season and Bishop does not look Championship match fit. Bees made breaks (or rather Hunt) down the middle. Let's go for broke because if we do lose let it be playing some real rugby.

i think ollie back in at #10 would really work, as he used to play few years back.
