Quote ="mdean"Yes, I do, but on balance the aggregate best quality in our backline is on the field in my view in my example.
So if you pick Owen at FB, you can't pick Mathers for the wing or centre in my opinion, unless you are going to give him a good run at it, which then means you are going to pick McGoldrick to drop his 2nd row channel runner off inside twice every set, so on balance, I go with my pick!
Of course, the unknowns are how Goldy is training, Griffin and the general squad, it could be Richie Mathers is not in contention, so it fixes itself. Personally if I had to compromise anything, I would compromise a proven full back with winners medals and play Owen, who has to plan in my view, on the wing.'"
My personal backline would be owen, dixon, thompson, arundel, youngquest out of what we have at the moment (though i would like a centre brought in), with mathers kept back as cover as i don't think he could do a better job than any of the players in those positions.
hope you get bummed by a camel
