But I don't think we have a dearth of that type of midfield player though, I think we have too many of that type already! :o
We seem to have a sh1tload of blokes who can win it in tight, and bugger all capable of distribution or breakaway! It's no accident we rushed Dow in, but it's a puzzle we set him up as a tagger!
Ignoring SoJ for the moment, from the Dow perspective, are we obsessed with teaching blokes a role they are least equipped to fill?
No real comment from me on Dow, as I haven't seen enough of him. In principle, I don't have a problem getting him to tag some of the better mids, to get up and close and see how they go about it. But not to make a career out of it.
It's about midfield depth. If Cripps is injured, we're royally screwed. If kreuzer is injured we could just about forfeit the game. If Curnow is injured, we're slightly less screwed. Kennedy hasn't played enough for me to know what he can do. So having someone else who can competently go through the guts is no bad thing in my book.
