Batch doesn't have the power to go down the middle. He is far more useful as a rangy runner on the right.
Pitts has that spot but I don't mind Pitts doing 13.
Leaving Batch in one position will help him more.
Agreed.
Batch isn’t a “middle” he’s an edge in my opinion.
Leave him to take on the outside backs and halves and let someone like Pitt’s, Arona or Battye to take up that role. I’d probably say though Whitbread will get significant game time at loose in 2022.
Batch is very much a right SR. Tanginoa should start in his best position of left SR and Pitts in his best position of right SR. Batch/Ashurst for me fight out the bench spot interchange. Though I think Ashurst would make a better LF.
Tanginoa wasn’t as effective in right SR on Boxing Day. I do hope Willie doesn’t do a Chester and play Tangi in every position but his best at left SR (just to fit Ashurst in). Let’s hope lessons are learned there.
One thing I will say though. Aydin looks pretty much ready to be an interchange prop to me. That is a bonus and really does give us more depth in the front row. I look forward to seeing Aydin get plenty of games off the bench this year. And hopefully see how far Eseh is off being ready too.
