[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1116576, member: 72520"] Agree. I think that EJ and all of his experiments have really put us off of anyone being able to play multiple positions and we’re currently very keen on specialists only. But the reality is loads of players can be excellent international players in multiple positions: Henshaw at 12 and 13. Doris at 6 and 8. Beauden at 10 and 15. Jordie at 12 and 15. Rieko at 13 and wing. The list goes on. I do feel that talk of Daly finally playing his proper position as if he’s always been a 13 and can only ever be a 13 is just quite reactionary towards EJ’s experiments. We should never be playing someone at international level in a position that they never play for their club (like Manu/JJ at wing, or Curry at 8) but I see Daly’s ability to play multiple positions at club level as making him eligible for those multiple positions at international level rather than ruling him out of all of them just for not being a specialist. Personally I’d consider Daly to be a starting option at 13 and wing and suitable cover for 15. [/QUOTE]
