We seemed to have some attacking structures set up to get him the ball in hand, in space, where he can pick to either pass or run with it.

Still vulnerable to 40-20s early in the tackle count because he doesn't have the co-ordination with the wingers in terms of defensive positioning just yet. That'll get there though the more time he spends in the position.

If it were a plan, I'd probably look to have him full back for a year or so then move to 6. He's got all the skills needed for either role, just not the game management for 6 yet (unless he was outside a quality 7).

In any event I hope there is some sort of plan beyond waiting to see what Hardaker does/doesn't do for next year. Ditto Segeyaro.

Do you reckon you could mix up your cliches and saying's abit? You are not a million miles away from being the forums resident stevo.

why can't they play sutty in the same way Wigan play Williams, where he is only really used when in attacking positions, using a matty smith type half to gain field position

I think next season will be make or break for him. Sadly it's where to play him best that is the current problem with our squad balance.
Will he get game time at FB if Zak returns? We have aplethora of HBs...none able to do the role we are missing, He seems abit too small to play the modern loose role.
It's good having cover for FB,HB and LF but I think he has the ability to be more than a utility player from the bench.

I think it would be ideal for him to play a couple of season at fullback. Where he doesn't have the pressure of overall organization and creativity but can chime into attack. That will allow him to really effectively develop certain attributes which will benefit him if then moving up to halfback in a few seasons. We should remember he only made his debut in 2013 making a few appearances, in 2014 he played abit more in the team but then last year he seemed to be really coming on until the injury.

Even so, because of the likes of sinfield and mcguire when he did play he was still basically filled that role of chiming into the attack. I think this is the way forward for him now, but the hardaker situation could put a spanner int he works.
