Positions
Sam Tomkins himself live on sky sports saying the difference in positions gets overlooked so much.
He then said that you cannot be a top end player in two positions - it’s too specific.
Hopefully people on this forum can listen to that and stop with the ridiculous suggestions.
Most recent ones I’ve seen
Miski to Centre
King to second row
Wardle to second row
French to loose forward
Powell to loose forward
O’Neil to loose forward
I get certain players have done it but it’s a rarity to do it properly and given we want and should be challenging for all honours it has to be put to bed.

It would have to be Powell to loose (cannot believe I am saying it but have to reply to the question). It would purely be on the basis that he already defends in the middle of the park and you’d try and make something of his extra pair of hands. That being said you’d lose the meters we make with Smithies there which would seriously impact us.

Re: Positions
No pedro after reading it again he said it’s a rarity , but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen again, you’ll only find out by trying it that’s not me saying any of those would work by the way
