Quote: sergeant pepper "For me, it's a straight shootout between him and Field for the HB slot. The other one goes on the bench as cover.
Tommy is apparently going around again and I'm more than happy about that. If Field and Smith want to play then he's the benchmark they've gotta be better than. As crazy as it seems that's not an unreachable level either - if Field can put a marker down with his running and support game and Smith can outshine Tommy as a controling HB then they'll both be seen as viable options.'"
Can’t really argue with that.
It’s really interesting what Lam’s plans for the back line are, especially if Hastings does stay. Mind you even if he leaves it’s intriguing.
