Farrell experiment

Here’s a thought and it is just a thought, before you all start jumping all over me !!!
Why not try Andy Farrell at centre!!! – He is big enough, fast enough and he certainly has the ball handling skills. We have more than enough cover in the back row, with Wild, Tickle, Hock etc…….
Imagine the space he could give Carney!! He could quite easily attract two or three player and still get the ball away.
I think it would be worth the experiment. He is certainly built more like a centre than a stand off, and he has played at stand off a few times, even for GB. He is a similar built to what Iro or Miles was and look at the damage they caused.
Plus, look at the centres that have moved into the loose forward position - Hanley and Bell. Why not reverse the loose forward to centre.
As I say just a thought!!!
