I know this quote thing makes it sounds like I am 'having a go' at you BT but that isn't the intent. I have gotten the feeling over the past 18-months that the overwhelming opinion of this forum is that the coach keeps playing guys 'out of position'...who in particular and where should they play?

If people want to criticise the coach for not preparing the squad well after the 2016 season, then I'm with them...but I don't get this 'played out of position' thing. I have been frustrated at team selections (particularly lack of running players) but on at least some of those occasions, there really was no-one else available...and (as we saw near the end of last year), some of the time the teams that seemed the least 'balanced' on paper were still successful because our best players decided to take the game over...

Boyd not playing forward adds to the argument.

I think the “out of position” thing is overdone too, but a couple of high profile moves have built it into folklore.
