| Quote: PJs Gone To Derby "Well here's the thing: Sam is not a good full-back.
He's not hopeless - looks great running at a broken field, willing to throw himself under people defending the line, etc - but he lacks the positional nouse of a Radlinski or Briscoe and I think has been exposed on a number of occasions. OK, unfair to compare him with Radlinski who was the best defensive full-back I've ever seen, but you see what I mean.
Sam needs to be involved more, he's one of the most creative players we've had in ages.
Plus, I hate to see him running the ball back into a wall of 18 stone bone crunchers all day ![]()
Being at full back means he can choose when he comes into the attacking line, more often causing some damage than not
He has a great heart and his ability to sweep up kicks behind the line is good
With Radlinski in the coaching set up the rest will come
I believe he'll move back to half back in his later years ala Darren Lockyer

| Personally I thought Briers was best of the round (taking nothing away from Sam though)
And no I've not turned from Latics troll to Dire fan before you start

Thought he was poor compared to his usual standards, especially under the high ball. I'd have him at 6 with Roberts at 1

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

Must admit he looked far from being a full back last Friday. I'm was undecided as to whether he should play 1 or 6. He can be very effective coming in to the line in attack, but I think he could do more damage for us at 6 being involved more and orchestrating the play.
I don't think he is defensively good enough or strong enough to play full back. Don't get me wrong you can't fault his desire or committment but he just lacks the size. He was very poor under the bomb, saying that Salford kicked well, but I just think he would do more for us at 6. If he is to stay at 1 he needs to improve under the high ball.
