I don't know why people are so hell-bent on keeping Sam at FB. He is a half back!
He is equally adept in both positions, but he has been playing the best RL of his career to date fullback. I agree with Madge and he should stay at fullback IMO.
Sam and Rangi Chase in the halves with TL at hooker is a much better proposition that Sam at FB, Chase TL halves and MM at hooker.
I'd have Finch in the halves with Chase and Leuluai at hooker. Irrelevant though because you've missed the fullback position out in your comparison. The entire spine of the team has to be taken into account. Sam should be played where it's best for the structure of the team IMO.
But a combo of:
1. Pat Richards/Amos Roberts(at present form)
6. Sam Tomkins
7. Rangi Chase
9. Thomas Leuluai
Does not look as strong as
1. Sam Tomkins
6. Rangi Chase
7. Brett Finch
9. Thomas Leuluai
IMO of course, which is the broader view that should be taken into consideration when deciding how we will shape up. It all depends on our recruitment as to where Sam will play IMO. Matty Bowen would be ideal to allow him to move back to halfback. If we sign Rangi Chase (or any other halfback) I think he will stay as a fullback.
what planet do you live on? who says benches need to have experience? what a load of crap
