French and Field would both be wasted on the wing however wouldnt surprise me to see Field given a wing spot in his early matches.

French played on the wing a number of times this season and went very well.

Seem to remembering him scoring some great tries playing on the wing.

He didn’t start the game on the wing however moved there mid game with Hardaker moving to 1.

That's not so much of a deal though with Zak and Bibby moving into arguably better positions.

Moving Bateman to centre and Olly to the wing just doesn't seem a sensible option.

Sod that, I remember Bateman playing centre for England. Fair enough he made good metres coming out of yardage but he hadn't a clue what to do with an overlap. Can't remember either way what he was like defensively.

Perhaps we are just miss guided in looking at the game in the terms of outmoded recidivistic, patriarchal and gender stereotyped positions. The game may have move on to the point where all players play every position at every moment. If you think in those terms then you can fit any player into any position, problem solved.

I do like the move Toulouse have where Bretherton (prop) sneaks over to the wing and barges over. It's so basic and teams would get wise to it if you did it every week but it would be a great trick play to use now and again with Singleton or Bullock.

Monie did that with Andy Platt. Andy would go onto the right wing sometimes and run over whoever the opposition or wingman was. That stopped when Inga arrived. No need then for a prop on the wing. Same effect though!

Why not try it with our former England Centre Tony Clubb

He’s played about 8 games in 4 years.

Can’t be that good

Frano played on the wing to get used to our structures/the game and moved inside eventually. There’s a danger we can try and be too clever with things but the game’s changed and if we can get away with a fast half back spending a bit of time on the wing I’m not dead against it.

Jai Field will be the fastest player in sl. We could do a lot worse than have him on the wing for cover if it was needed.

Defending on the wing is an art positionally and it tends to not transfer to many other positions except perhaps centre.

It has nothing to do with pace.

We are not playing schoolboy rugby.

This is the highest level of the game in this country.

If you put Field on the wing they would be putting a huge target on his head.

You only need to see how teams target Grace and Johnston 2 fliers in defence. To be fair Grace has improved this year particularly but it’s taken a 4 years? Johnstone is still positionally awful in defence.

Field has 0 game experience on the wing.

Every team would direct everything down that side, runs, kicks, everything.

I don’t believe it is an option for 1 second.
