I really think that we need to bring Hank back. With Field being out for 6 weeks, there's a need for more back support + he can kick too.
Isa should never be picked a centre again either (not his fault before anyone starts). Leave the guy in the middle and let him set the tempo for the defence.
Agree re Isa, he’s a cracking secondrow but a liability in defence on the wider channel against more mobile centres.
In relation to the Hanley debate I thought he went ok too.
He’s probably not robust enough to play week in week out though.
We tend to use our wingers as extra forwards early in the set coming out of our half.
We have 3 wingers who generally do this well and generate good post contact meters.
Hanley seemed to lose contact every time he tried to do a similar carry. He’s not developed enough yet for that style.
I’m in the keep him on the wing for now camp but I’d also say I agree with others who think we need to bring Hankinson back from his loan spell now.
