Hope so but i can see it being the other way around with Connor moving to centre and Griff to back row when Albey comes on.

I think Albo will start
Last i hope will have learned from Radfords mistake.
My take on it will be we may see Connor at Full back sometime in the game and allow Shaul to move up field.

You say it like it’s football, like shaul plays centre half and we’ll put him up centre forward for a bit, surely fb is 1 if not the most attacking position on the pitch?

It wont be the first time professional football centre halfs have been used at centre forward but you are probably right about the full back position in R/L.Problem is Shaul doesnt score enough tries from full back nor does he create enough from attacking plays.
In this new type of R/L Shauls strength will be fast running from dummy half and backing up breaks and offloads from further up the field.
Just my opinion but we will see how it pans out in the coming weeks.
It also solves a centre selection problem having Connor on the bench,

I’m expecting big things from shaul from fullback, under the new rules and different coaching

Will be interested to see the tweaks in our style of play. Fingers crossed. Five drives and a kick to the corner has had its day.
Andy Last seems to be relishing the role. Hope the players respond.

Sorry to burst the positive bubble but i dont expect a lot to change. Last isnt gonna come out as a completely different coach to Radford as Radford, Gentle and Agar are his last three mentors - quite frankly our history of promoting inexperienced assistants has on the whole failed miserably and i see nothing different here

I want hime to become the best coach weve ever had but i see no chance of that happening

We'll get beat by Salford

I've heard Kelly's in his best shape since his NRL days and been putting in extra gym sessions.
