I can't see how this would work. Can barely provide adequate defence in the line.
He'd run it back 10m only to be driven back 20.
I reckon his unusual position would be a Josh McGuire type hooker role at best.
Think of all the times he could prevent a goal line drop out by taking it on the 20 getting pushed back into the ingoal and then flopping over the line when he gets a shove from his wingers.
I've heard his lateral running speed is unprecedented and he has hands as big as plates. Legend has it he's much better under a bomb dropping from 150mt than a 1mt offload from dummy half.
You did say surprising
