Quote: Last Son of Wigan "
I also have an issue with debuting young lads at FB, what a baptism by fire. Not only in attack but in defence, why not put Pat or Josh there and break in lads on the wing. Lewis must be so disheartened after bombing it and being dropped, similar to Jack Murphy, put it against Sinfield in a massive game.'"
Fully agree with this. I've been saying it for a while, I think the position is too tough for a young debutant to step straight in to. A few games on the wing to get over the nerves is the way I'd go. You only need to look through superleague now at guys like Hardaker, Tomkins himself, Lomax etc and before them Wellens and Radlinski to see top quality fullbacks that have come through to the first team and been played in other positions before moving back.
