To me, this thread is all a bit reminiscent of threads early in the S14 season criticising Mitch for sticking with selections such as Drew in fullback and Ryan to 13 (and we all loved the Spanner on the wing threads)
I'm certainly not innocent of expressing confusion/concern about Knuckles' plans, neither am I backing down from anything I've said. I just think John doesn't have time for the three year plan that Mitch has the luxury of, neither does he have the time to experiment anymore. I'd suggest that Wales and Fiji are last chance (and then some) for experimentation and the backline need to get some consistent game time before the Tri-Nations.
But it could all be a big smoke screen and he might be disguising his plans well in order to confuse theother semi finalists! I really don't know.
