Generally used as a middle these days much in the same way Peacock and Morley transitioned.
He can play secondrow but for last 2 possibly 3 seasons he has mainly been used as a middle unless there have been injuries in the secondrow. He went to Catalans as a specialist secondrow but was fairly disappointing.
They transitioned him to Prop/middle in 2022 and he was much better getting his England squad place back after not being selected in 2021.
Exactly this.
I do not think he'll have been played 2nd row in the last few seasons through coaches choice. He will have done a good job at filling in when needed.
I just cannot see him being an option for the 2nd row for us unless injuries dictate the same.
Let's be honest it's a nice debate to be having about an England international player who is joining us isn't it.
