His strengths are in his running game, he's great at busting through tackles, although he is also adept at getting an offload away on contact. I'm not sure what his passing game is like. Defence would be the other area of question mark. But there's no reason not to give it a go, once fit, in say the reserves and see how it plays out.Southern Softy wrote:Smart idea about Dom.

Too many wingers?

He’s pretty much head down and I’ve not seen much evidence of a passing game but then Ryan Atkins has cut a career as a superleague centremarkill wrote:His strengths are in his running game, he's great at busting through tackles, although he is also adept at getting an offload away on contact.

I suggested it very much as a ‘strike centre’ option. A player you’d use almost as an extra winger to just bulldoze his way over in the way that a player like Jake Webster does for Cas. He wouldn’t be sending his winger away for 20 try’s a season but with a ball player like Sam at fullback he’s capable of making up for that lack of service anyway.
Nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose. We’d clearly want to see him get through a few games on the wing first before trying it.
Re: Too many wingers?
We probably do have too many wingers, and if one has to go, everything points to it being Liam Marshall, but I would be very sad to see him leave. He looks to me to be the fastest we have, has the best footwork, and is arguably the best finisher.

Maybe we could try Marshall in the 2nd rowmoto748 wrote:We probably do have too many wingers, and if one has to go, everything points to it being Liam Marshall, but I would be very sad to see him leave.

Re: Too many wingers?
If he's the fastest, has the best footwork and is the best finisher why would everything point to him going? Those are three pretty top attributes for winger.moto748 wrote:We probably do have too many wingers, and if one has to go, everything points to it being Liam Marshall, but I would be very sad to see him leave.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

No need to be disingenuous, Dave; I'm sure you know the answer to that. Or do you disagree?DaveO wrote:
