If we do sign a high profile backrower i can see Edwards still retaining his spot as our hard hitting lock. He just needs to work on his fitness to increase to a 65 minute player and do a bit of explosive training to give him a nice tackle bust and he could be playing rep within 3 years. He's got a bit of speed, a step and a offload so if he adds that extra oomph in the contact he could be a real weapon when running the ball.
I think if the middles around him did their required workload he would be able to handle those sort of minutes.
Right now he is picking up their slack a lot of the time.
He is too often the one putting his hand up for the tough cart or the desperate tackle at the moment. Really running his tank down early without the help he should have.
A more even work load would do him wonders.
still i've seen several people mention how good he was yesterday... i clearly must have missed it in between the expletives i was hurling around willy nilly at the time.
i'm going to have to watch this game again, i think.
a glutton for punishment, mate.You are a brave, brave man!
at least he's used to it, i guess. lol.I'm sick of seeing Eddy trying to play a lone hand against four dominant opposition props.
