[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1119936, member: 13739"] I'm not sure why we'd want to move him to 10. He's almost the perfect 12, big enough to handle the physical side of things, but with a distribution and kicking game that we've lacked in that position since the days of Henson. One of the worst things that happened with Henson was the constant switching between 10 and 12, with Henson himself a little obsessed with the romanticism of being a Welsh fly-half. We don't want a repeat of that with Hawkins. If we want a young 10 then there's Costellow, or Jarrod Evans who's a little older. I know there's Kieran Williams waiting for a shot at 12 too (and maybe Llewellyn in the future), but I only see that as a good thing. We need options and competition in every position. [/QUOTE]
