Who would you suggest as a third choice back up half?

This is someone who could spend 90% of a season not picked unless our halves get another terrible year of injuries.

If that's all he is then he's a waste of cap space given we've also got Wilkin and Turner as back up halves who will also play elsewhere in the team.

If it's true we are after Fages then he will be back up half/hooker next season. Maybe even more of a rotation option with Burns/Walsh if either fall out of form.

This for me is the best option, Fages is decent for a young player and has years of improvement in him.

If we sign Fages, will we look to ship Burns out?

Re: Gareth O'Brien : Mon Sep 21, 2015 5:35 pm  

Fages is still very young, rapid and can cover full back, which given our recent luck there is a bonus. I have no idea what his full potential is, but he ticks all the right boxes for me. I like O'Brien but he is none of the above, he's a good goalkicker but we aleady have one.
