Sam said in a radio interview that he is now a fb.
However he said at times he still practices at 6 and sometime this season he'll probably play there.

Sam links up very well in the line from FB, I believe in the right formation he can do the same from 6.
But other areas of his game as a FB are questionable, namely defensive duties and catching under a high ball.

I think in attack from FB he is outstanding, but not defensively, compared to the top FB's in the world, he's far behind when reading the game and defending from FB.

We need more pace and options in the halves-It's that simple.

Who would you suggest plays at Full Back then?

For the Leeds game it would be difficult to play Russell, as Sinfield would kick him all over the park. This is a long term development issue. Roberts when fit would be ideal. Mellor was also given a game at FB.

Halves/Hooker is a major issue.

Saying that-long term Russell has the potential to be outstanding. Similar to Bowan.

i suspect it payed for sam's big new contract????

Dont you know we have just lost a game??!!

Its not hard!

I thought we had dispensation from the RFL on that one?

Dispensation?... I thought that the RFL were paying his whole salary, under the guise of a TV deal........

and quite rightly so.....you are wigan after all!
