Me too, NK. On the not unreasonable grounds that full-back is his best position, and we've seen nothing thus far (admittedly only in cameos) to suggest that he is a half-back. Could he be made into a half, like many full-backs before him? Maybe, but surely start him at full-back.
Yeah it’s a fair leap to go from NRL winger and reserve grade fullback to starting stand off. I recall when we signed him there being some talk that he’d been playing stand off for the Parra feeder team but I flicked through their social media page and he’d been playing fullback 95% of the time. A move to stand off may be a goer over time but I’d give him that freedom from fullback early doors. Tommy isn’t somebody I’d like to see in the halves all season but early season on heavy pitches, where the games can be tight, I’d have nothing against him starting there. He’s a rock in defence and French and Hastings should bring plenty of threat around him.
