He is a FB. Saints tried to accommodate wellens by moulding Eastmond into a hb and failed.

He is a Ben barba like fb who you could build a team around.

I can think of three reasons why the Doc shouldn't get his cheque book out.

1) I can't think of any player who's gone to punt and grunt and come back a better player, but I can think of plenty who have come back much worse, Iestyn Harris and Lee Smith being two recent examples.

2) It seems his attitude might be a problem. When he signed for Bath, he pretty much gave up playing for Saints in a Richie Myler stylee. Now he's walked out at half-time after being substituted. We're in danger of assembling a squad that looks like a social worker's caseload.

3) Where would you play him?

Nah. Save your money Doc. Have a look at that James Graham. He looks like he might be a good 'un.

In his own words,from some years ago,Half back was his preferred position [url=http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/mar/26/rugbyleague.sthelens1Source[/url
This was the position where former full back and coach at St Helens,Mick Potter,also played him,probably with the view to replace Sean Long - who did go to Hull FC - but the young man demonstrated the impetuosity of youth.
It would seem his frustration at Bath includes being played at wing and centre and not getting his hands on the ball or having the opportunity to run,while holding said ball.

As he spent a large part of his time at Bath when he first arrived injured, it is possible that the other sport has not fully de-skilled him.He has also stated that he was prepared to play in any position.

Think he would fit in a treat with the rest if the bell ends you have signed !!!!!
