[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 271701"] Tom James could work at centre, he's certainly the right build for it. His problem lies with his inexperience, most top flight players have been playing the game since an early age (I'm sure there are a few exceptions), whereas Tom James started playing in his late teens. He's therefore very raw at many of the complexities of rugby (passing, offloading etc. etc. He sure can run though, and that's why I think he's better of staying where he is. He's already a top class winger imo, and often wonders into midfield to do some damage. Pitty he's just picked up a 6 month shoulder injury! Regarding the wingers comment, I think Shane Williams certainly comes infield looking for work. The amount of tries Wales have scored due to a Williams break in midfield is rediculous. Maybe he doesn't pick hard running angles, but then he hasn't got the size for that, that's where Lee Burne comes in from fullback. I am starting to think James Hooks best position could be 13. His main weakness at fly half is controlling the game, why not let somebody else do that, Biggar certainly looks to have that side of his game sorted. His defence has improved tenfold from what it was a couple of seasons ago, and he's added a few stone as well. Definitely worth a try. [/QUOTE]
