Back on topic, how would people rate the work of ryan papenhuyzen. With Drinkwater out for an unpecified time, is Hughes a lock for fullback? How did others rate the work of Croft?
Seeing Smithy give an interview with Storm media post-trial. He is obviously acutely aware of the poor completion rate (~50%) and how much of an important issue it is to get right.
He eluded to our more expansive attacking structure over recent years and how that may be a factor - but quickly filled that up with comments that the errors are mostly coming in the play the ball, in contact and simple areas of the game.
Gotta improve it dramatically in a short window...

I’m gonna throw in another option. JAC to fullback and Earl to wing. Josh DID mention it in an article I read so if Hughes isn’t in the team or playing halfback (Croft hasn’t improved from what I’ve seen) then it could be a possibility.
Other than that, Hughes should have been first choice FB anyway.

Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time
If not Hughes, we're not gonna move around players out of position. It'll be a one for one swap if anything. The drastic move could be Smith playing in the halves and Munster going back to his best position.

Thanks Scooter. I was wondering why people on here were shuffling the decks so vigorously after the Drinkwater injury. I figured Hughes was either injured or had run over bellyache's dog or something. Otherwise he's too good of a player to be in reserves.
