At hooker? His lack of size means he’s up against it defensively in the middle. There’s a case using him more and Addy less, but I think that leaves the problem basically unsolved.
I think the loss of so many big forwards to injury maybe distracted us from half our spine being missing, which we’d had time to get used to the idea of. Hall has done well covering Quinlan after Atkin struggled there initially. And Lee is solid enough, just about for a team in our position, covering Lunt - but now he’s injured too.
Ultimately, I think that might have been the final straw - we got a few forwards back and still looked disjointed. Even in victory at Magic, we conceded more tries than we scored and two of our three came off Salford making a mess of dealing with a kick through.
I agree not a long term solution,but a better option than addy imo.
