How nice is it to see genuine pace on the wing again? His improvised free play last night took me back to the days of Albert and Sullivan.

I said the same thing last night that how good it was to see him running along the line jinking in and out like Sullivan did.

We are pretty covered in the fullback position aren't we.

Lomax, makinson, wello, swift, Hohaia all being pretty good in that position.

If he keeps putting in performances on the wing then I'm not too fussed.

He isn't a 6. He doesn't see himself as one, neither do the club. Not really sure why people keep talking about him as a halfback.

It's becoming annoying.

One of my mates pointed out this love in for Swift to play at #6 and it annoys me every time I see it now! Considering he's never played #6 in the first team, or shown anything to suggest he could play there, it's ridiculous to see so many people suggest it for some reason.

Probably because unlike Wilkin, Wellens & Hohaia amongst others tried in that position he at least offers an attacking threat as he has pace to burn & a step off both feet. Sure he played SO at amateur level & on occassions at U21 level. With OBrien & Wilkin looking settled, Wheeler returning to fitness & the side playing much better of late its less an issue. For me when Percival was in the side, with Meli & Mak taking the wing spots he was undeservedly not selected as he has always impressed when selected & people are looking at ways of getting a genuine talent into the side. When Lomax was injured he should if been a shoe-in at full back yet we endured Hohaia playing there & even at centre versus Hull KR. I appreciate he's had a few injuries also though.
