Spot on. Lam has had plenty of opportunity to blood the lad it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he did so when we face our most difficult task!

I’ve been saying this since we ran out of specialised fullbacks! He’s never going to learn if he is constantly played in a position he isn’t used to! Get him playing at FB & let the other backs help & protect him.

It’s just like when the club insisted on playing Jack Hughes as centre instead of his specialised/preferred position of second row, when he kept telling them he couldn’t play well enough there. What happened? He left! And he’s a cracking second rower 😊

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:

If that is true then Lam is a clown.

He should have been playing Hanley at fullback against Hull KR & Wakefield to allow him to settle in more and could have handled the intensity then ramping up against Warrington and again v Saints…

Bit of a catch 22 situation now and I can’t see him changing course on this one until after the Saints match.

Lucky we didn't tackle their players - we might have had more suspended :roll:
