Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3487816, member: 9853"] I wouldn't say Walters is "shit." If his job description is to pass the ball and not goof off, he does that just fine. His runs from dummy half are nearly always pointless. Paix is much the same but at a higher intensity. The attack definitely lifts when he comes on. He's not slippery or in the organizing hooker class, he doesn't boss the opposition, but he's adequate. He'd be the one I'd keep. It's working for now because Reynolds, Mam and Walsh ooze attacking class in spades, but throw an elite hooker in there and we're premiership favourites. Ideally you play Paix for 65 and then bring on someone with even more intensity to exploit the tired opposition. Right now we're playing Walters for 25 minutes in a defensive role, Paix for 15 minutes either side of the break to catch up the deficit, and then bringing Billy back on in the final 15. If Billy is the defensive hooker, it's odd we always seem to be behind when Paix comes on. The problem is neither of them have the ticker to put in what's needed from the role. I don't have a solution other than to stick to the knitting, since we're getting by at present. But it's clear to me we leak points in Billy's first stint and Paix seems to have more attacking nous. I'm sure Paix would carve it up if he were brought in for the final 15, but we might be too far behind on the scoreboard if Billy plays the two middle 15's. [/QUOTE]
