Quote ="Dico"Centres and Fullbacks are pretty specialised. To an extent a winger can play at fullback and occasionally in the centres but you watch someone like Hunt, Webb, Slater, Stewart or Hodges, Inglis (for QL/Aus), Gasnier or Cooper and how they join an attacking line or bring someone on, I wouldn't say most wingers could play those positions.
But I take your point about Penny as a last line of defence.
My personal opinion is his tackling is shoddy, i've seen nothing to change that however no, he wasn't solely responsible for the way in which our left hand side leaked like a bottomless cup '"
I'd Have Paid some Serious Money to Watch Lesley Vainakolo Play full back.........
one of the best wingers in the superleague era........theres not a chance he would have been picked there...
in fact he himself has been targeted in defence... he was hopeless(well not very good) under the high ball and many times he would be put under pressure ......however I do remember him collecting a bomb on his own line and going the full length.........
