Shaun Edwards was a a substitute full back

before half back, if you'd like to draw that comparison

never mind you can always wallow in wellens world class qualities

I didn't think it was a good idea to put him at full back originally because I thought he'd get run over by any prop that made a break, how wrong I was! I'm very happy for Sam Tomkins to stay at full back until Roberts is back up to speed.

Sam would never be run over in defence. He is the most determined little git i've ever seen and is as brave as they come. His technique to bring down both Moa last week and Peacock this was outstanding. He always makes me laugh when he gets stood up in a tackle by 2 or 3 defenders and they'll be trying to pull him down to the floor and can't! He'll have props, second rowers etc winging all over him in sheers frustration and he still refuses to go down.

I'm actually worried about the prospect of Amos being deemed fit within the next few weeks because unless he's 100% confident as well as fit he can be more of a liability than anyone else on the pitch. In addition to this we need Deacon in as much as possible for his kicking and organisation now he's hitting some form and I think it would be highly unfair on Goulding to drop him after how well he's been playing but also too big a risk. Amos is a fantastic player and scored some of the best tries I have seen from a Wigan player in years but we've adapted well to playing without him I'm just worried that he's seen by Madge as a must for the first team and they'll risk him too early. At Leeds in the CC and Saints at home he shouldn't have been anywhere near the first team.

Well said, to be honest at the moment I don't see how anybody is a candidate for being dropped.
