[quote="Spookisback":16lx7ula]Not sure I agree PT I think that versatility is a key component in players these days, Indeed one only has to look at Kiwi and Kangaroo selection to see that many plyers are selected for rep football playing in positions that are not their usual club positions. As for Storton... I figured we had signed him as a lock forward/ middle, which is where (I think) he plays his best football, but I guess we will see on Friday where he plays.[/quote:16lx7ula] Watching a handful of KR games this season he was second row every one of them I watched and played very well. He tends to come off the bench and play an impact edge second row role when he’s not starting. He has played some prop in previous years but the looks filling in but I’ve only seen him play second row so can’t really say like you it’s his best position. Looking forward to seeing him though. He’ll add some quality and he’s a very robust player. He

Definately played most of his games at second row. Not flashy, but a grafter

Playing a top quality player at International because they play well anywhere and you have another top quality player to backfill, and you have a temporary gap for one game is not the same as playing a second row at prop at club level. If we have an injury then of course. And versatility is very important for our team. But if you have to consciously play a second row at prop in the first game of the season, or consistently through the season...you need another prop.

Absolutely criminal how he was played at prop for such a prolonged period. Even though he had hands like cow udders at times he was good at second row and barely average at prop yet we continued to prop him. Truly bizarre that was.
