I am still unsure about Spence and Beestin to be honest. Spence keeps it simple – which means passing back – but he sure as hell slows the play down most of the time. Not a patch on Dawson or Bishop, never will be. One good game in ten. Beestin similar – some of his passing was beyond dreadful – basic stuff. Probably one good game in five for Beestin but with those two in the centre it will be more of the same next year
Remember how Bishop and Dawson used to almost referee the game, in the ear all the time, marshalling the players making sure the ref was on their side. Spence is quiet unassuming quite weak on the ball.
Beestin has more scope to
improve playing with the right character. Spence is extremely limited in his ability
