[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 620906, member: 67273"] To be fair Thorn switched at 25 too. I could definitely see him being a very good IC, Blindside or LH Lock. Clearly ball carrying and tackling are his strengths, but they are very, very strong. As a 6 he would be massive and rapid. It is true that it's very hard to predict how conversions go - but I'd back him to be significantly better than Andy Farrell was. If he was seen as a back rower then I could see the necessary fundamentals being learnt very quickly at a club like Saracens who have a very good forwards coach. I'd imagine if he did come back and switched then he's more than likely want to move to London because the Yorks clubs aren't good enough. That would basically limit him to Quins and Sarries and at long odds Wasps. He would almost certainly be a marquee player and therefore the club could pay him whatever they like. All this is academic for the moment though... the rumours are very thin at this point. [/QUOTE]
