Nah - it was Riccio who said that Benji originally saw him as an edge back-rower so when we bought the Fainu brothers is when they first sought a release in November - because Latu as a half and Samuela as a back-rower could BOTH block his path to NRL...Someone on Fox, think it may have been Read, mentioned the coaching staff had spoken to him about moving to the back row. maybe that’s creating the urgency to lock down a half kind of contract?
It was just double-dipping on why he was right to feel aggrieved - but as he has since progressed unobstructed to the NRL as first choice 6 - that is now a moot point (as Braith and Tallis stressed).
No suggestion he is being looked at as a back-rower moving forward.
