I wouldn’t see it playing out like that , if jouffret gets injured, woody drops into 6 like he did for Jamaica in the WC , pickersgill goes to fb , if woody gets injured it’s a like for like swap.
I don’t see it partly like that ( how Ckt2487 ) assessed it either.
In addition to how you explained it providing cover for the back line In this context doesn’t necessarily mean he will be playing in every position himself, but what it allows others to do as you mentioned.
I do agree where his strengths are but that’s the reason why Grix has signed him, he’s here precisely because of his pace and attack.
It’s much easier if a player is a natural fit to the clubs style of play than having to make changes to him so he can fit in.
He reads the attacking game really well, good positional support play naturally coming into the line, good hands to bring in the backs and the speed to finish himself, none of which our previous option steady Joe did.
So even if he doesn’t start in the centres it’s by coming into the line wide out as the extra man with those attributes feeding our quick backs I hope he can light up our 3/4’s like Tom has done down the middle, if he does I see the some points being racked up.
Anyway Brandon don’t forget my commission for saying so.
PS: Woody I’m open to higher offers to say he’s rubbish.
