[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 153862"] Personally, I'd say you could do a good job at 12. On paper at least. You get a lot of contact opportunity in that position, in both attack and defense, and need the good handling skills you say you possess. A good boot also helps, as it removes the necessity of the 10 kicking all match, and it sounds like you have the pace to exploit any gaps which appear. The thing you may need to work on (I don't know, you haven't metioned it specifically), is the ability to pass accurately off both left and right hand, as well as being able to time a pass to put others into space. A 12 needs to have the ability to to both run himself and distribute to the wider players. Not being hugely tall isn't a problem in this position either, as there have been some great centres who weren't the biggest - Tim Horan and Scott Gibbs are two that spring instantly to mind.
