It's a vexing situation to be in for mine. Both Cobbo and Staggs have obvious positives that you could point to and say "this makes him worth the price tag"; Cobbo with his natural talent (when he turns up) and ability to cover fullback as well as centre and wing, and Staggs with his work ethic...

In years past, put into the position it was with Mam, the club would have said **** it, winged it and gone with some half baked bullshit band aid solution like Walters or Staggs at 6 for 12 rounds, and meekly wear the consequences right in the...
