Quote: NickyKiss "It will be a totally different proposition when Field is back, I 100% agree with that. A lack of intensity has also played a part since Wire and that’s understandable. Those 2 will feed off each other at 1 and 6 and teams won’t know which one to try and close off. There is a massive target on French at the minute and that will be much harder to do for the opposition when French is back. They play at 1 and 6 for me without doubt but I’m still curious as to which way round would be better.'"
i posted after the Leigh game that Ryan Brierley was in commentary on the radio, and said that Field at 6 was a nightmare, when he ran the ball. They were happy to let him pass as its not his strongest asset, which was interesting to hear from an opposition player. Suppose defensively, it gives them a break when Field gets rid
Personally i think French is the better passer of the ball out of the 2 of them, but that not me saying he should be playing 6. I think we go with French at 1, with Field at 6, but allow them to play what they see / interchange in the attacking structures to give the opposition the problem to deal with
