I know we are being linked to signing to forwards and a halfback, but does nobody worry about the number one shirt? I know amos had a bit of a revelation at fullback earlier in the year, but against wire, he showed a couple of very very poor decisions from the fullback role.



Did nobody notice in richie myler's try, when briers kicked through, the ball bounced two or three times very low, and a high bounce was due, but amos was not only out of position but didnt anticipate the high bounce, if he had i dont think myler would of scored that try.



There were another couple of occassions where amos was out of position, and myler could of scored another two tries, fortunately for us he didnt.

amos is still getting into the swing of things imo ,that knee injury was very serious and i cant beleive how quick he recoverd of it , even so when he took a knock to it i thought sam would of gone full back and brought deacon on , that games gone now bad week end for wigan rugby full stop

Agree with you TBH, before Roberts got injured he looked like a revelation at fullback, now he's come back & lost all his confidence and there are rumours that he is leaving after this year. So that leaves us with Sam and Pat for next year, both of who i believe are better at 6 and 5. Lets just all pray Roberts gets his confidence back, stays next year & gets back to his early season form

I'd agree that Amos's confidence is shot and he's going to take some time to get over it. Hopefully he'll be right come play-off time.



Now assuming Amos does leave I wonder whether we may see Marsh get a shot at FB.

Roberts was hobbling around at that point. A decent full back snaffles that kick through easily.

Sam is wasted at fullback as is Pat, but i feel Richards at FB is a lesser loss than Sam, so i don't get why Sam is at FB ?

Spot on, he was crocked at that stage. He had no trouble getting across fast in the run where he picked up the injury.

if roberts injured and they leave richards on wing sam had to go full back who else ??????

What i'm saying is Richards is the better Fullback and 6 is a more important position than 5 so you are losing a s/o by putting him at 1 rather than losing a winger. I know the reason why it was done i just don't agree with Sam>Richards at FB.

What's the deal with Phelps?

Tbh what i see happening is sam at fullback in attack but in reality playing as an off the cuff 6 with Richards still out on the wing, whilst in defence Richards will cover fullback.

Well TBH I trust Madges jugement and experience alot more than yours so lets leave it to the experts eh? Richards is a better defensive fullback but he doesnt offer much go forward from there believe it or not, he is miles better on the wing, Sam on the other hand has only played a few games at fullback so he's obviously going to make some defensive mistakes, but in attack he is just as good at 6, better even because he can see more of the game and read it even better. ATEOTD like i said we would be better with those two at 5 and 6 and signing and proper fullback if Roberts does leave.
