I can see it maybe being Ethan to second row and Emmanuel off the bench. Looked like we started with Ethan in the second row and Emmanuel at centre on Saturday. I like the idea of Ethan in the backrow, a more manoeuvrable defender maybe and runs good lines in possession, which might help unlock the attack a bit more.
I think Emmanuel has pretty much played the full 80/big minutes in every game since he came in, so would be good to be able to rotate some of the workload and see how he goes as an impact interchange.
Fairly happy with the signing overall. Brings some much needed experience and sounds as though we were able to elbow some SL and other Championship sides out of getting him, we must have some pulling power still!
I do wonder if Dalton's injury has maybe written him off for a long period and forced our hand a little, as we are better stocked in the outside backs compared to other areas of the squad.
Hopefully we see a few more incoming!
