Quote: vastman "Just wondering why Owen or Hall would be a risk. Owen in particular played his best SL Rugby to date at F/B in 2009. Unless you're expecting us to sign a FB of Billy Slater status I don't see any risk at all.'"
Owen played 16 games at fullback what will be 6 years ago come the new season and has hardly run there since, hence it would be a risk. It may well work out him playing there and he did look promising there in 2009 but a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then and the fullback position itself is evolving to become another pivot position and i'm not sure what his creative skills are like compared to the other candidates.
As for Hall he is a quality player but, just like Sammut, is prone to a howler, just ask the Hull KR fans. Which is why i picked him at centre in my team as i feel he is better in a less exposed position. So unless Billy Slater turns up it was Sammut for me as i wanted him in my team for his high standard goalkicking as well as his attacking prowess.
