I like WINGERS

Players like Hucks are what I pay my money for (well, used to)

Players with speed and ball control, players whose idea of fun is to run at a full back and try to beat him.

For me that is the best entertainment, the most exciting form of the game. I don't think I'm alone - remember the buzz of anticipation whenever Hucks got the ball in a bit of space? Or Ruel Fox? Or Jimmy Neighbour?

I know it's not the height of sophistication, or technical skill, but for me a speedster on the wing is far, far better than all the tiki-taka 39 passes to move 15 yards forward stuff

I'm a dinosaur, I know
