Quote: Last Son of Wigan "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.'"
Opposition players have made metres through him. I’m yet to be convinced on his defensive qualities.
We are in the sense that we’re debating his attacking strengths in different positions. Which centre does Hardaker go into? Gildarts? Sarginsons? Neither for me. Why change one of our most consistent players for an untested (in SL) FB when Powell looks like he is injured and the opportunity to put him in the halves is there?
We’ve nothing to lose.
