I don't see why he has to be labelled as one or the other.

I do however think a change in tactic should be considered and Sam moving back to 6 to allow Amos a chance to get his form back might be one possible productive change.

For Leeds though I'd stick with Sam at fullback for at least one more game, Charnley to centre, Roberts on the wing.

Definitely stand-off. He'd have more involvement with the creative side of things, add the fact that he's a much better defender when he's hunting and at marker, rather than when he's at full-back and having to chase or play catch-up to defend.

At the moment his best position is at 1 because he can pick his time and position to come into the line. In future who knows?

The number of the beeeeast

He's a 6 all day long. He's had his best games for Wigan at halfback. He can do more damage from 6 too.

When was that?

Erm, when he's played at 6.

Why do you think Maguire plays him at 1 then?

And I'll ask again, when did Sam really shine at 6?

How about 18 after last night's showing?.

Give us a clue.

Did you watch the game?.

1 all day for me it gives us a extra half back so we have 3 plus we get 80 mins out of mcilorum who atm has been nothing short of awesome

I'm happy for Sam to stay at FB, he has performed well there so far and has got plenty of years to develop and improve in the position and a fantastic mentor in Radlinski to help him to do that. We were not beaten by Wire because Sam was at FB and if opposition players thought he posed little threat at FB they wouldn't bother to target him. There will probably need to be a decision made in a few years should Matty Russell continue to perform as well as he has been doing as to who takes the FB role but for now at least the role should be Sam's.

In the half backs I would like to see Deacon partner Finch as much as possible to let Tommy play at hooker and provide us with a better kicking game (from Deacon and Finch, not Tommy as IMO he should be kicking as little as possible) with Mellor being eased in so that he can be ready to step in to partner Finch next year.

Madge plays him at 1 for one reason.

It's not his attacking ability or his impact. It's simply the fact that at 6 he gets peppered in defence by opponents. Thus he tires easier. At 1 he doesn't have that problem and has a full tank to attack.

I think he will be a far better FB when Richards returns. He helps Sam out a lot in kick returns etc. Having said that, in a ew years time I expect him to go back to 6.
