Quote: nathan_rugby "Move Powell to a position he’s played about 15 minutes in his whole career?
One thing Wigan fans can mostly agree on is we sometimes lack a bit of firepower in the forwards. Moving a Hooker to 13 isn’t going to improve that and will result in him getting crucified even more than Smithies is.
Sorry to say it but Powell to 13 is an absolutely ridiculous idea.'"
Why is it absolutely ridiculous? For example, Salford last week played Atkin at 13 as an extra pivot and it worked really well for them. And they’re not blessed with a massive pack?
Hull kr have used two hookers really effectively too with litten and parcell on the field at the same time for parts of the game?
I’m not saying it’s the answer permanently, but other teams have used that tactic really effectively in games…
