Quote ="Batesy"I think tommy will do fine at 7 if Sam takes some more responsibilty. For me I'd like to see him telling the likes of fielden, and feka exactly where he wants them to run, how hard, how fast and when. Its what I want my 6 to do when I play.
If sam can do that, then I've every confidence that Tommy can do a fine job at 7'"
Tommy has had enough time to flourish as a 7 and hasn't. Barrett carried the creative go forward in our team which protected Tommy.
Now, more that ever, considering the win to loss ratio it is clear we need a new 7.
