2 of those 4 have covered full back in the past as well

Cover or not, Riddy is no more a full back than he is a 13 - reckon he will be spending most of this season organising his functions, and good luck to him with that, rugby is a short career and cash in if you can

I think the two that have covered full back are Reynolds and Sammut. The only positions I've ever seen Ridyard play is Stand off and centre. The only position he can play is in the halves.

Riddy played FB on a number of occasions last season unless I dreamt it

Yes he did. He was treading on treacle when running it back too if i remember !!

McNally, Reynolds and Sammut all pretty good at Full back with the latter being the choice 6 and 7 IMHO.

Four is perfect for rotation.I would imagine that automatically creates game plan issues for the opposition.

Fax said no after his trial period. Are you saying Leigh should have said yes?

Fax reckoned he was struggling to get fit. After four years out, it will be a struggle. Not sure if Sam will get to the level of fitness demanded in RL thess days.
