Quote: 100% Warrior "I have and I’m not saying he’s looked good, my past comments will prove that but with how weak our defence has been recently we need a good solid FB who can tackle, otherwise what’s the point of a FB? We’re forgetting the core role of a FB here I feel. French doesn’t look the strongest in D either.
Regardless of whether French goes to FB/HB or stays on the wing, we won’t win the GF. I’d play him in the halves to add that attacking flair, you’d put him at FB for essentially the same reasons. Basically we’re debating two sides of the same coin.'"
How do you know French can't stand up in D from FB? You suggest he plays 6, but that would mean he's getting through more tackles defending in the line.
We're not debating the same side of the same coin, the role of a FB in the modern game is different to a 6.
