Just wondering if he gets moved into the backrow at all during games??

If not, why doesnt he play 80mins regularly? Thanks!

He's been moved to the backrow, apart from last week, for a few games now.

If he moves to the backrow again during the game this weekend, he'll score a bucketload of fantasy points. If not, he'll score well anyway.

Just pick him and be done with it. ;-)

Do you guys think that having him pushed into the backrow with a winger on the bench is a good idea? just seems like a waste of a utility player or something on the bench when you could just get him to make some runs during the game anyways. How does Sheens rotate him?? Does he go straight into the forwards from the wing or does he get a short spell to get some fresh legs? Also do you see this as a transition for him from wing to backrow for the Tigers?

He usually plays the first 20 minutes on the wing and then the rest of the game as a forward.

I think it's, like you said, about transitioning him into a forward.

It also helps give the side some extra momentum early in the match by having an extra big man on the park who can make an impact on the kick return. I guess by having him start on the wing first, rather then coming from the bench it also allows him to ease into the game better, rather then coming straight off the bench into the forwards.
