Field

Based on his performances this year, is he a better fullback overall then French?

[nathan_rugby]

I think it’s a yes tbh.

The kick returns are better, line breaks better, passing is better.

His one on one defending is great, he’s reasonably ok under the high ball.

Now don’t get me wrong, French has been unreal and a pleasure to watch. This post was an honest question.

Yes, now get him tied down to a long term contract

[Wigan_forever1985]

Yep I’d say he’s better atm

I’ve said it before, but on Hastings podcast just when Field got injured last year he said he’s on a 2 year deal and intends to return once that is up.

Fingers crossed things change and he is settled, enjoying his rugby and ambitious to win things in super league.

There’s probably a lot of players in this team earning a lot more than him who aren’t close to delivering what he is.

Agreed

Outstanding. Without him we do not win tonight.

I think that's it. For players like Field (and French, maybe), isn't it a choice between being being a squad player in the NRL, getting the odd game, maybe, or the chance of getting silverware in the UK? Which, in turn obviously depends on how settled they are here.

Minor flaw in your plan. If he’s ambitious to win things in super league, he’s at the wrong club. There is no prospect of any silverware here for the foreseeable future.

For me, the big advantage is, it gives us options throughout the backline!

French V Field at fullback, both on top form, is a very tough call! What outweighs Field over French for me is his defensive capability, especially when wingers brake free and Field lines them up!

Zak Hardaker doesn't work at all! It would be a bit like playing Gary Connolly on the wing! I'm presuming for now, Field will remain at fullback and id like to see French on the wing.

I'd like to see how Cust and Field combine in the halves at some point, French isn't a standoff, so overall, we have options for our backline!
