I posted something similar when we discovered that Sam was crocked.

He appears to have all the attributes needed, but i would like to see him play a game or two before making final judgment.

Then again, we Wigan fans seem to be obsessed with changing players positions

The biggest benefit would be to allow him more opportunities to get the ball in his hand.

I blame Gelling.

Seriously though, while he makes mistakes we could have done with one of his 150 metres gained stints to help out our beaten pack...

Says who exactly? How do you possibly know he would be like Zak Hardaker?

the example you used was that of him playing at fullback against catalans and what i saw of him there indicated he would be similar to zak hardaker. but i guess to put it in perspective, this is the zak hardaker who has just won young player of the year after playing half the season in an unfamiliar position. but zak hardaker isnt fluid in the role yet, nor would i expect charnley to be without a decent preseason of preparation. i cant imagine a sam tomkins style move where he became a sudden revelation. but then again i guess sam already had more to his game at that point. and this isnt a dig at charnley or your point, i just think charnley at fullback wouldnt offer quite as much as say sam or brett hodgson. but as has been mentioned, he is only 21.

i think i argued with myself a bit there

Whilst i can't be bothered arguing with any of the vitriol that usually arises when the "Sam to you know where" chatter happens. It would be interesting to see it in action.

As phenomenal a threat as he is from FB and as good as his defence has been. He is poor under the bomb, i don't think anyone can argue with that.

Josh is very good under the kick and his elusive running would be a boon with open space, i do have doubts (well not doubts, more queries) about his bravery when sticking his head in dangerous positions and his one on one defence. Yes he can tackle and his technique is sound, but can he "defend" if you know what i mean?

Right then

Who is taking the credit for the "Josh to FB campaign"?

Me or thee?

Sam to 6?

Are you mad

With Josh at FB where would you play Sam?

Why would you move one of the league's best wingers to FB?

To give an excellent player more ball time, more space to show his skills. To allow our best attacking player (Sam) into the halves to offer more in attack.

More to that, why would you limit someone with Josh's abilities to just the wing?

It was a joke buddy

See my earlier post and i agree about the change. I was giving some faux outrage.
