What positions has Luke Lewis not started in ?

Just watching the 08 panthers V cowboys game on fox in which Luke Lewis started at 7 and it got me thinking , what positions has Lewis not started in for the panthers ?

I presume it's only ,

Prop
Hooker
And fullback ? ( although it wouldn't surprise me if he played some minutes there)


I'm pretty sure he played in the 6 jersey as well in a game or two.

This has to be some kind of record , is there anyone else that would compare for any other club?

Kurt Gidley...oh wait, no.

I know Berrigan has started at centre, five-eighth and halfback - and that's just at Origin level...He's also played a bit of hooker and it wouldn't surprise me if he had the odd game at fullback, wing or lock either.

Cronk maybe?

The thing that separates Lewis from other so-called utilities (ahem, GIDLEY)is that he's actually pretty good at most of the positions he's played. Lewis wasn't much chop as a halfback, but still had a pretty handy passing game and short kicking game.

Casey McGuire would go close...Wing, Centre, Five-Eighth, Halfback, Lock, Hooker...Lewis is pretty remarkable though.

Richard Whiting has played in every position for Hull FC in the ESL, although I don't think he's started at prop or hooker, only come off the bench to play there.

Luke Lewis - Positions he has started at:
Wing, Centre, Five-Eighth, Halfback, Lock and Second Row. Hasn't played at Hooker, Fullback or Prop yet.

Ruben Wiki
Wing, Centre, Lock, Second Row, Prop. Hasn't played at Fullback, Five-eighth, halfback or Hooker

Richard Whiting
Fullback, Wing, Centre, Five-eighth, Lock. Hasn't started as a Halfback, Second Rower, Hooker or Prop.

Just for good measure.

Alan Wilson played in every position on the field
Fullback - 2 games
Wing - 19 games
Centre - 1 game
Five-eighth - 4 games
Halfback - 1 game
Lock - 25 games
Second Row - 31 games
Hooker - 8 games
Prop - 1 game
Bench - 17 games.

I dare say the only other player to go close to that will be Jim Craig from Balmain in the twenties from memory.

Silly me until now I didn't realise both the founder of league and the "saviour of union" were H H's

Chris Flannery played every position except prop and maybe wing for the roosters over the years

Over the years Huey HAS played every position, because at times we have had guys who haven't pulled their weight and he has had to do their job as well.
