People are conflating last years king in a basket case club butting heads with Powell to the one prior to this. He wasn't anywhere near as bad as people are making out, just now he's on a list people are making out he was a lot worse than he was.

Not knocking the kid, I think he has a future, but I don't think he has a settled position. In youth rugby he was an excellent running half, when he got to academy level it was felt his passing game wasn't good enough to be a long term half. So he transitioned to back row and did well, pushing for first team he was considered too small to be a back rower, and it was felt his pace would be better used out wide - centre being an obvious transition from back row but winger is also on the cards. I don't think he has a settled position now and to me it seems Chambers sees him more of a winger - for now at least.

It does seem that those who have seen lots have him have got more doubts than those who have just seen his obvious try scoring potential when put into space. He's got pace, no doubt. His selection on the wing for the reserves may be a one off but perhaps not.
