Cust to 6, put French back on the wing, drop Miski......
Stand Off
Re: Stand Off
They’re all good, walk into most teams.
But I’d say Teddy is the best then I’d have Edwards(who is well underrated I think).
Tommy Turbo I would of said yes but he spends most of his time injured

Re: Stand Off
I think he is one of the most talented & gifted rugby league players I have ever seen. He is an amazing player in any position in that back line!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

He’s won me over fair play - not a natural 6 but he’s improving week on week.

Moving towards traditional 6 and 7 rather than split halves has helped both Smith and French as they know their exact roles rather than trying to do a blend.

IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE
Re: Stand Off
Looking better every week is Mr French and I was a doubter . When you think back we've had a few decent stand offs who moved from different positions Loose, Centre or fullback. Andy Farrell, Shaun Edwards, SOL and that Ellery Hanley wasnt too bad. I guess the question is what is a modern stand off ? Good hands , eye for a gap , bit of pace and decent in defence. Not many out there better qualified than Bevan just needs experience learning the smarts.
