Quote: WARRIORCRAIG "It wouldn't just be the direct threat from Sam that would change, it would be how dangerous the whole team's attack is. Him lurking in behind combined with the excellent lines the forwards run is what creates doubt in the defence and hence gaps, that he can then spot and go through. The fb position has changed and teams now try and utilise a the fb as a 3rd pivot anyway. IMO Sam is much more effective as a deep, wide 3rd receiver than he would be getting the ball at 1st or 2nd reciever.
We know Sam can play excellently as a stand off, he's done it before and if he stays in RL I think he'll end up back there when he's 28ish, he just offers so much from fb that IMO it would be silly to move him at this stage of his career.'"
my thoughts too.
hes gonna get targetted in defence if he goes to 6, which will slow down his attacking game.
maybe when hes older, 28 ish, he may have bulked up a bit and be more reliant on using his brain as opposed to his speed ( finchish)
