I don't think he'll be too fussy about starting if the money is right, and if his priority is to stop having to doing the long-distance stuff in his relationship.
And the chat with Gutho might have taken into account his future ageing (or as Pou might say demise), and if it was Field he might end up getting a starting gig at fullback in 2024 or beyond. Good to see the club thinking and planning for the future.
Hell, if we suffer an injury or two at fullback, half or five eighth, Field would even get a starting spot with us now.
