[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1020264, member: 73592"] Not this again. I've no time for anyone saying that Watson can't play FB for whatever reason - there's no arguing with stupid. However, I'd put Malins there. We've been playing Daly at FB for long enough now, and built a team structure and gameplan around an ersatz centre at FB - Malins can actually play that role properly at FB, in a way that Daly has only ever managed on paper. If we switch Watson to FB, then we've changed the shape of the team and the way we're trying to play - or we're asking someone to "play like that guy" instead of like themselves - that's never a good idea. Don't pick Hughes and ask him to play like Billy. Don't pick Farrell and ask him to play like Tuilagi. Beyond that, of course, you look at the options and see which is preferable, and for me Malin at FB > Odogwu at wing [/QUOTE]
