far from it against Bradford last year I thought he was my MoM and against Leeds bar from the knock on didn't do much wrong.

In the pre season friendlies this year he was very poor, and at fault for loads of things that went wrong when we played Salford in game 1 of the season, not sure how long it was after that before they dropped him.

Josh Charnley.

With some game time at 1 he could be amazing. Speed to round any player when linking in the line, has the X factor in attack and can catch and tackle better than Sam.
Yes it'll take him time to learn the position, but he'd be a Roberts type FB.

Other than that, Lomax

No great enthusiasm for any of the other suggestions, the Josh option may have some mileage.

Hanbury at Widnes looks useful but with Salford sniffing he has signed a contract till 2016.

Greg Eden. A year or two in our coaching systems would develop him into a top class full back which we'd enjoy for a season or two before selling him to an Aussie club.

I think Josh has genuine strike, would like to see him on the ball more in different positions on the field, linking in the line would really show off his abilities. He's already proven his defensive capabilities.

That just leaves us with a replacement for the wing, we already have that in our current set up.

The attack seemed to stop dead when he played FB against Huddersfield, before he was moved partway through the game. Leave Josh on the wing where he's doing well. If Sam goes at the end of this year sign a good full back, if he goes at the end of next year, who knows? Maybe Tierney will prove himself

Charnley is similar to Richards although Josh has a bit more 'strike'. A modern fullback is more of a traditional stand off in the mold of Tomkins, Slater, Hayne.... Phelps to some degree. neither Richards or Josh are capable of filling that role effectively enough for me.

I agree, perhaps we should be looking more toward our up and coming young Halves...

The problem with Richards at Fb is that he had no cutting edge or that extra yard of pace. I think Charnely could provide this and would personally give him a shot at FB.

The attack would stop with him though and it would be predictable for defenders. with Sam, Slater, Hayne and even Phelps, it puts the defence in two minds. Will he take me on or will he pass???
