I’m not sure you know, if Hastings and French go and we get Field and Reynolds in as direct replacements, you’d still think they’ll feel like an option of a guy who can play 7 and 9 will be invaluable. If you want a bench halfback/hooker and go in with Smith starting at seven and Bourouh bench, you’re one injury away from both starting and having nobody for the bench in that role. A player/coach role with Leuluai being phased out over the season may not be a bad shout.
If there was something positive to come from the 2005/06/07 period it must be the lesson of allowing too much quality and experience go in such a short period of time and not being able to replace them quality wise.
Lealuai is highly regarded at Wigan as both a player and coach so this suggestion makes a lot of sense as long as he feels up to it.
Great learning opportunity for the likes of Smith with people like Lealuai and Reynolds around him.
