Quote: Bigredwarrior "I agree about Halsall, I’ve not seen any of our wingers as solid under the high ball since Pat, he’s excellent. We’ve not seen much of him close to the line or when he’s been put away but certainly deserves to stay in the mix.
I think the issue we’ll have is accommodating Field. If he’s fit, I can see Lam playing him at FB and moving Hardaker back to centre. I hope not but I can’t see him dropping Smith to get Field into the halves. To be fair, Smith was much better yesterday.'"
Granted I'm only basing this off one game, so it probably isn't fair, but without the right patterns Field looks to be a passenger at FB. I do think he's got all the tools to be a great FB btw, the team just need to play a certain way to unlock him.
ZH works at FB for us because he's off the cuff. He's very good at playing what's in front of him and making guys miss.
Still think it, but we're one prop off this being a competitive side. If they focus the rest of the season on hard nosed defence & don't listen to Lam. We might have a few upsets in us.
