He’s getting on a bit, but West’s have Josh Reynolds at six, I don’t know much about Australian players, but haven’t West’s recruited in this department.

Lots of guys play different positions at academy, your missing the point, although George may be playing 6/7 at Canberra, the original post, was regarding Murphy & Millward being able to play both half back positions with equal success.
Did George play most of his career at Wigan at six or seven?
Or you could say, in the past, it would be unusual to see Dave Topliss at seven, or Sterling at six, but now numbers don’t mean that much.
Il bet it's a reserve grade player, like Carlos, Faraimo , not much knowledge of reserve grade so couldn't throw names about.
From what I've read in the Nikorima saga, I don't think it'd be a bad idea signing his brother Jayden who judging by the NRL forum comments sounds like he has talent, that's if we don't sign Kodi Nikorima

I think I read Jayden had some issues with substance abuse, and perhaps that would create visa problems.

I agree. These days, with scrums being a farce at best and hopefully a thing of the past, what really is the difference between a Prop and a Second Rower; a Scrum Half or Stand Off.
In the modern game, only wingers, centres, full backs and hookers have a specific position. Scrum Half, Stand Off and Loose Forward can stand in whichever part of the line, depending upon the move. Everyone else is free to play however the Coach sets them up.
You could list all of Hull’s forward’s. Most we would expect to drive forward within a Set. Some we might look to run out wider and some we might expect to offload.
At the end of the day, Rugby League positions have become a bit like Mexican food. As Billy Connelly once said, you can order a Fajita, an Enchilada, or a Burrito. The tortilla is folded differently, but ultimately all taste the same.
