Ben Johnstone gets jersey 1 and Gareth Moore 7..was wondering how we were going to set up.

Maybe Johnstone at full back,and Moore at scrum half

just a suggestion of course.

Hope we line up with jono at 7 he is better there could have used sharp at fb if we needed too.

We were far better with Johnstone at HB. Let's hope RM doesn't follow Karl and play people out of position. Up The Fax!

Ben Heaton deservedly keeps his number 4 jersey which is good to see

I'm a big fan of Miles Greenwood and surely he'll slot back at fullback when fit. I'd have liked to seen him given him that no.1 shirt.

Anyone know how he's getting on?

I must say I prefer Jonno at 7. Trust in RM tho.

Richard Marshall isn't God and he isn't exempt from making mistakes. In my opinion we were far more effective as an attacking team with Johnstone at half back. I think he would be wasted at full back and with other options there until Miles gets back to full fitness I would start him at seven. Victorian Café Bar, Windermere Pale Ale 3.5 % Mmm!

Heratic. Blasphemer,


Repent, 100 Hail Mary's and no beer for a week and then you will be forgiven.
Just.

I agree with Pete

this coming season will show how good RM truly is ,you may have kept most of last season's squad but your recruiting for next season doesn't exactly make me have sleepless nights,I think most teams will know RMs gamelan for next season.My own personal advice for any Fax fan entering the Fantasy Rugby Comp,is keep your Fax players to a minimum.

Charlie knows.I did last year and the rest is History.

At the end of the day they are squad numbers. Gone are the days when a number 7 was the scrum half etc. etc. There may be a nod to positions with the numbering, but nothing more than that.

Very true. What number did Ben Johnston wear all season ? And where did he play ?

Numbers don't mean much, that's correct, but Fax were far more potent as an attacking force with Ben at HB. Up The Fax!

Agreed, he ripped the Bulls apart by taking them on at the line, whilst he's done OK at fullback I also do not believe that is his best position.

True, although it may have just given Miles a boost after a very difficult 8 or 9 months? At the end of the day a fully match fit Miles will be playing at fullback.

He played hooker for Ireland. Made some good breaks from AHB.

I agree. He's the one lad that I reckon (when we're struggling to break down teams) has that little bit of magic to make a break and change a game (when he's played at half back)

You don't half talk some tripe, it must be all the Ale your consuming.You will be spouting about the DR System next ,and that has ceased.

"I think it was griff who said that Johno played at fullback quite a lot last year despite being 7 but if my memory serves me correct, that first occurred due to injuries."

Well, aye, but it was just an example of a bloke playing away from the position his squad number indicates, so it was. It wasn't intended to be a tactical assessment, like.

And I agree Griff.
