[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 696617, member: 12190"] You may very well be right about this, but as I've said before it seems counter-intuitive to play him in a position whereby his success or failure will be judged on an area of the game which is largely an unknown to him (rucking, the breakdown, etc). We know he can do certain things extremely well, such as carrying, hitting a line, beating defenders, offloading. In contrast we have no idea whether he'll be above average in the core competencies of a back-rower. In other words if you play him at 6, the ways in which he stands out as a player will be diminished in importance. [/QUOTE]
