Murrell's kicking out of dummy half will be very useful and he will defend well but his pace may let him down, I personally think he looks like a 13.
He's a good LF, but not a great one. Speedy players can get round him at 13, and he does miss a fair few tackles as well as make them. At least at 9, he'll have more players running direct at him which will play to his defensive strengths. I was concerned about his pace at 9, but his distribution and kicking game will be an improvement on what we've had previously.

Why!
Pace, good back up play, good at taking a pass through a gap (and has scored afew from them), good tackler.
Plenty of players have made the switch succesfully and we could do with six who is NOT similar in style as Dobson.
He played six as an amateur, so will be familiar with therole.

Everyone gets on Cockayne's back but he's proved time and time again that he can cut it, i'd like to see him been given the chance.

As a six???
He's a pretty good full-back and a fair interchange hooker, but a stand-off he ain't. Putting a player who can't pass in a pivotal position would be utterly ridiculous.
