Seriously gaskell at 13, im been Serious youd be better putting the 18 year old academy lad there before gaskell,dont know who said it but maybe langi could do a good job there but then who plays centre......or just leave crowther there.
It’s that desperate imho. I know it’s a bold move but Crowther was a huge stunt for attack tonight.
Seriously watch the game again. Ball was sent along the line numerous times and hit Crowther in the middle begging for it to be shifted into space but he consistently ran it into the middle.
Yes he ran it in hard but it’s massively dumb rugby. He’s not an offloaded and can’t promote the ball like Westerman etc so he needs to either work on his passing or find a way to take the ball to the line and release a pass or draw defenders.
He’s all the effort in the world but the smarts and skill aren’t good enough.
Maybe Gaskell isn’t the answer but we have huge issues at 9 and 13 especially that must be sorted.
Tanginoa will instantly improve our edge forward attacking threat. Pitts has played well last 2 games so there’s only 1 player missing out for me and that’s Ashurst.
Maybe we run with Bowden at loose? I’m sure he’s played plenty there over the years (I think).
Heck, was clear to see the issue areas tonight but fixing them isn’t as easy.
I’m trying to think of how it could be improved
