There seems to a growing number of people who like the idea of Mbye being moved to starting hooker. I've long been an advocate of giving Lichaa until 25 years old to round out his game before we lump him as being a dud.
It's undeniable Mbye could give us a dangerous runner out of dummy half but I have my doubts about his ability to make 30-40 tackles a game and give reasonable service for 80 minutes - short of developing him in that role for another 2-3 years. My other issue is again, we're talking about playing a guy out of position, how many times has this tactic been a success for us?
Given this thought process, my question is this: Is Moses Mbyes best position (in terms of value for us) off the bench to primarily offer spark out of hooker and secondarily cover 1-7?
