Well whatever Willie decides is fine but Tangi plays best at left SR and Pitts best position is Right SR. We have Crowther, Walker, Arona, Whitbread, Odonnovan, Adebeyi who can all play 13.
I’m a big believer in playing players in their best positions where possible. Seems like we are moving Tangi and Pitts from their most effective positions to accommodate Tash. It’s a risk that’s not needed as Tash and Batch should fight over the bench allowing players to play in most accustomed position imo.
I’m not a coach though so we will have to wait and see what Willie does.

In your opinion it’s Pitts best position but for many of us he moved beyond that last year. When he did play LF he was our best back rower by some imo, he’d be wasted in the SR now, especially as we have plenty of options.
None of those you’ve mentioned are LF’s as there best position, Crowther isn’t there yet, Walker is too slight, Arona is now far to slow, O’Donovan to young, Sid is utility and I know where you’ve got the idea that Whitbread is a LF, but he’s been signed as a prop, his best position to use your logic. I can’t find any evidence of him playing LF despite what wiki says.
If you don’t want to take my word for it that’s fine but you’re pushing it when it’s what the coaching staff think. No offence but if they say he’s a LF then he is, what you and I say is irrelevant.
