I do think Webb is a vastly superior full back to Smith.
Explain to me how that gets onto Webb playing in the centres?
When did Smith excell (sic) in the centres? You agreed on an early page that Smith's potential as a centre was all hypothetical.
Think about it.
At the start of the season the plan was to play Smith in the centres. Do we agree on that?
I agree with you that there was no proof he would excell there.
Now the players have been talking about in the club with the management, that perhaps the better option would be for Webb to play centre and Smith play fullback.
IMO that suggests the club dont think Webb is actually "vastly superior" to Smith at fullback. It does however give the impression that the club see Webb highly enough and versatile to cover our problem centre spots, or just see him as a better option than Smith.
