PopTart:
I don't see what you see in Walmsley.
He has never played 6. He's only played 1 in Championship under no pressure and as fill in during a game this year.
We'll need his speed on the wing too.
And though he might do a job against Cas, this needs to be a multiple game decision.
Catalan would target him straight away as would Warrington.
No point giving Cas a vulnerability to target either.
We've seen Max play 6. We know what he can do.
This is exhausting as I?ve typed this out already and the stupid page refreshed and I lost it all.
I?m not sure why your hyper focused on Walmsley out of what I wrote and seem to have an issue if someone sees something in him.
As I explained it?s more about Max and it?s my thoughts that he?s far too valuable not to be at full back. It?s less about Walmsley or what I see in him.
Jowitt is not a 6. He is a full back that can fill in and do a solid job at 6.
We are playing him out of position to accommodate Rourke and I personally am not okay with that as I don?t think that is the best option.
Walmsley is just the best choice after Max at 6 without disrupting Pitts etc.
Championship or not Walmsley has far more assists on his record than Rourke and he has showcased the hands more. This is not Walmsley vs Rourke though.
My choice would be to bring in a 6 on loan or permanent for this run of important games which imo will be massive in determining our trajectory.
Win 3/3 and we will be sat in the top 4 in SL but 0/3 or 1/3 and the optimism will start to wane a little.
Either that?s not possible or the coaches don?t think it?s needed.
That?s fine and we will see over these next 3 games if the coaches get it right. Which I really hope they do.
That?s just my thoughts on what I think would be best. Ultimately though I?ll be supporting the team whether it?s Walmsley, Rourke or
Rodwell at full back, 6 or whatever.
