Of course not. Totally different situation. Hastings Specifically wanted the 31 shirt.

1-13 are still a general representation of preferred positions. Mostly.

Back to French, another interview with Lam stating Hardaker is going to remain in the centres, and he thinks he will do well there, French has X factor at fullback etc.

I’m still not convinced about it to be totally honest. I think I’d prefer French in the halves with Hastings. Time may change my mind (it did from last season as I didn’t want French anywhere near the halves then!) and I do think when Gildart is back he’ll go centre, Zak to FB and French in the halves.

It’s great we have so much versatility these days though. It’s not a luxury we’ve had many times before

Can't see Lam changing things until Gildart comes back, even then it might be Bibby who's under pressure with him playing on the left.
Anyway it'll be a nice position to be in having multiple options.

Must already be an early contender for MOS, the poor lad must be sick of receiving the MOTM award already.

Genuinely not seen such an entertaining player for years and looks like he his loving his rugby at the moment.

Should remain at FB for me regardless of who that may upset.

I wanted him at fullback before the season started and even more so now. He’s done what he’s done in these first few rounds on the back of a pack who're not really firing, with some baffling selections going on. If we get him behind a pack who are winning more ground it could be carnage. I had a bet on him before the season for Man of Steel at 25/1, it’s early days but with it being a points system and him catching the eye regularly in our side, he should be a chance.

I’ve had a fiver on him too. Made a great start.

Not seen excited from the crowd when he gets the ball since 2012, Sam Tomkins

It’s a refreshing change to have a threat from FB. Zak is a great defender but I watch sport to be entertained and there is little doubt who’s more entertaining. It’s day and night the difference between the two.

Please for heavens sake Lam, don’t move French from #1.

To play fullback without any real pace is tough and sadly Hardaker has lost his. If you can’t be a threat via your pace and running game from there then you need to be more of a creator like Lachlan Coote is or the modern day Sam Tomkins but Hardaker doesn’t have that ability. He is solid under a high ball and defensively but he reminds me of Paul Wellens late in his career and if we want to challenge Saints, Wire, Hull or whoever else may be up the top end of the table you need more.
