I agree with what you are saying. We should have always played with 2 rucks this year. However for next year we get Soldo back. I have no doubt the match committee pick Soldo ahead of CCJ especially if Jack and Lynch are fit.I reckon if he had played earlier this year as he should have, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
I’ve said it a few times, it is incumbent on the coaches to fit the best players we have into a system in the 22. In this case, the coaches took too long to figure it out.
He should be best 22 for us in 2022. If the coaches have said that’s unlikely, he should leave and we certainly can’t complain about poor compensation as we’ve partially shot ourselves in the foot.
