Not read the entire thread, but where does he fit in if charnley and lineham are fit? Not many top SL sides will give him that much space to run anyway.
Wouldn't surprise me if he spent the first half of the season as a utility back, covering where there are injuries. But it also wouldn't surprise me if he kicked any of your 1,2,3,4 or 5 out of the side next season. He isn't at that level yet but from the three or four games I've seen him have he's got a lot of potential. I think wing will be a very temporary position for him, he's got a lot of ability with the ball, he can pass. Not sure if he's got a kicking game, but his coach at Swinton says he's a replica of Ratchford at Salford but he's far quicker. He looks every bit a modern fullback to me, but could easily play anywhere in the backs from 1 to 6.
