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)
