Wigan exposed Connor’s lack of speed.

Wellens was slow but he had time to develop in that position. He also played in an exceptional team.

When did Wigan expose Connors lack of speed?

I'd personally play Shaul on the wing..

It's no coincidence, that our attack looks more potent,when we have a FB, who can create more opportunities for the centres and wingers .

Was going to ask the same thing!

I'm not saying he is anywhere near the level of him but the way Melbourne use Ryan Papenhuyzen should be the blueprint of how to use Shaul if we are sticking with him at 1 because their skillset is so similar.

I’d certainly look at a different role for Shaul.



I’d keep Jake at Full Back and move Shaul up to develop as a Hooker.



His pace would be effective, firstly scooting from the PTB and also having him closer to the off loads to make breaks.



We don’t exploit Jamie enough to back up the forwards. He should be following the breaks made by the forwards, just like we had with Shaun Briscoe, Horne, Schofield and Steve Evans used to do. We have forwards now who are looking to off load and moving Jamie upfield would have him closer to finish those opportunities.

I'm not sure having a hooker who cant pass or tackle is a great idea.

180 games and can't pass or tackle.



Give the guy a break, he won't be playing again for 9 months.

Dont think passing two or three metres from the play the ball is a problem and he would not be tackling one to one as there are normally two or three tackling down the middle.

Well suited to the new modern nine role.You cant cant call it hooker now as it s not relevant

That's what I mean, instead of him pushing up looking for offloads or using his pace cutting back against a sliding defence he is getting a play ready on the flanks where we try to get him into a 3 on 2 situation.

we dont produce many walk ins for our wings.

Any average wing with an overlap will score a try and dont forget we use our wings and centres to bring the ball out of defence something a small guy like Shaul would not be good at.

We created far more scoring opportunities for our wingers since Connor went to fullback.



Shaul is really good at knowing when to 'scoot' when our wingers have got a quick PTB clearing our line and getting at a unorganised defence something which he would get it he was following our forwards up the middle in particular Sao.



Coote and French are polar opposites when it comes to skillset both brilliant fullbacks but their teams play to their strengths something which we fail to do when it comes to Shaul at fullback.
