In theory I would like a playmaker at 12 and seeing as they're as rare as hen's teeth it might be worth developing one within house whilst Gopps plays out his career. We must be getting close to our EQP ratio limit (Is Jimmy EQP I wonder?)
I think someone asked the question in another thread about how many times did Gopps stand at 10 and Sopps at 12 in the Bath game? If the highlight clip is anything to go by.. a lot, so why don't we pursue that with the players (Umaga, Searle, Gopps, Sopps) that we have. Develop a system of plays that means all can swap between 1st and 2nd receiver.
It would be nice to have a Jamie Roberts type 12 in the squad crashing the ball down the 10 channel (Ryan Mills at Wuss) but quite often if that's required, the task is undertaken by fowards.. Rowlands try on Saturday being the prime example.
