Quote: theres only one stan wall "Probably because unlike Wilkin, Wellens & Hohaia amongst others tried in that position he at least offers an attacking threat as he has pace to burn & a step off both feet. Sure he played SO at amateur level & on occassions at U21 level. With OBrien & Wilkin looking settled, Wheeler returning to fitness & the side playing much better of late its less an issue. For me when Percival was in the side, with Meli & Mak taking the wing spots he was undeservedly not selected as he has always impressed when selected & people are looking at ways of getting a genuine talent into the side. When Lomax was injured he should if been a shoe-in at full back yet we endured Hohaia playing there & even at centre versus Hull KR. I appreciate he's had a few injuries also though.'"
Bingo,hes a better option than them and Howarth who has also played there.
No ones said hes the answer just a better option than those mentioned when we didnt have Obrien.
I dont get certain peoples refusal to acknowledge this.
He was signed as a six and played for England as an amature there.Its not that big of a leap as some on here like to suggest.
